  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on September 17, 1998, I was unavoidably 
detained during rollcall vote No. 446, on agreeing to the resolution to 
provide for consideration of H.R. 4569, a bill to appropriate funds for 
foreign operations in FY 99. Had I been present for the vote, I would 
have voted ``no'' on the resolution.
