                       Tuesday, October 24, 2000

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber on Wednesday, October 18, 2000, when rollcall vote numbers 531, 
532, and 533 were cast. Had I been present in this Chamber at the time 
these votes were cast, I would have voted ``yea'' on each of these 
rollcall votes.
