  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on September 16, 1997, I was unavoidably 
detained during two rollcall votes: No. 398, on agreeing to the 
Goodling amendment and No. 399, on agreeing to the Hoekstra amendment. 
Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``yes'' on No. 398 
and ``no'' on No. 399.
