                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 11, 1996

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, in the afternoon of Wednesday, July 10, 
1996, I was unavoidably absent from this Chamber and therefore missed 
rollcall, vote No. 295, rollcall vote No. 296; rollcall vote No. 297 
and rollcall No. 298--on final passage of the legislative branch 
appropriations for fiscal year 1997. I want the record to show that if 
I had been able to be present in this Chamber when these votes were 
cast, I would have voted ``no'' on both rollcall vote No. 295 and 
rollcall vote No. 296 and ``yea'' on rollcall votes 297 and 298.
