  Mr. BECERRA Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, March 5, 2002, I was unable to 
cast my floor vote on roll call number 47, on the Motion to Suspend the 
Rules and Agree, as Amended to H. Con. Res. 305, a Resolution 
Permitting the Use of the Rotunda of the Capitol for a Ceremony to 
Present a Gold Medal on Behalf of Congress to Former President Ronald 
Reagan and his wife Nancy Reagan.

call vote 47.
