                     Wednesday, September 27, 2000

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber on Monday, July 25, 2000 when rollcall vote No. 487 was cast 
and on Tuesday, July 26, 2000 when rollcall vote No. 493 was cast. Had 
I been present in this Chamber at the time these votes were cast, I 
would have voted ``yes'' on each of them.
