                         Tuesday, June 5, 2001

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, because of family medical reasons, I 
returned to Los Angeles on May 23, 2001, and remained there for the 
balance of the week. Therefore, I was unable to cast my floor vote on 
roll call numbers 146-149.
  The votes I missed include roll call vote 146 on the Motion to 
Instruct Conferees on H.R. 1836, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief 
Reconciliation Act; roll call vote 147 on Approving the Journal; roll 
call vote 148 on Agreeing to H. Res. 153, Waiving points of order 
against the conference report to accompany H.R. 1836; and roll call 
vote 149 on Agreeing to the Conference Report accompanying H.R. 1836.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``yea'' on roll 
call votes 146 and 147; and ``nay'' on roll call votes 148, and 149.
