  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Tuesday, March 21, 2000, I was unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall 
numbers 56 and 57. The votes I missed include rollcall vote 56 on 
Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to H. Con. Res. 288, Recognizing the 
importance of families and children in the United States and expressing 
support for the goals and ideas of National Family Day; and rollcall 
vote 57 on Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to H. Res. 182, Expressing 
the sense of the House of Representatives that the National Park 
Service should take full advantage of support services offered by the 
Department of Defense.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 56 and 57.
