  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, in the afternoon of Monday, June 22, 
1997, I was unavoidable delayed from reaching this chamber and 
therefore missed roll call vote number 252, the vote on the Foley 
amendment to H.R. 4060; roll call vote number 253, the vote on final 
passage on H.R. 4060, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations 
bill; roll call vote number 254, the vote on final passage of H.R. 
4059, the Military Construction Appropriations bill; roll call vote 
number 255, to suspend the rules and pass H. Con. Res. 288 and roll 
call 256 to suspend the rules and pass H. Res. 452. 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 yea on each of them.
