  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on March 27, 1998, I was unavoidably 
detained during two roll call votes: number 79, on agreeing to the 
amendment and number 80, on passage of the Forest Recovery and 
Protection Act. Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted 
``yes'' on number 79 and ``no'' on number 80.
