  Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, I regret that due to an airline delay, I was 
unavoidably detained arriving from my district in California, and 
missed three votes this evening (July 30, 2001).
  Had I been present, I would have voted AYE on the following rolls:
  Roll 290, H. Res. 212, expressing the sense of the House of 
Representatives that the World Conference Against Racism, Racial 
Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance presents a unique 
opportunity to address global discrimination.
  Roll 291, H. Res. 191, expressing the sense of the House of 
Representatives that the United Nations should immediately transfer to 
the Israeli Government an unedited and uncensored videotape that 
contains images which could provide material evidence for the 
investigation into the incident on October 7, 2000, when Hezbollah 
forces abducted 3 Israeli Force soldiers, Adi Avitan, Binyamin Avraham, 
and Omar Souad.
  Roll 292, H. Con. Res. 190, supporting the goals and ideals of 
National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.
