                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. LUIS V. GUTIERREZ

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 2, 2002

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber on April 9, 2001 when rollcall votes Nos. 80, 81, and 82 were 
cast. I want the Record to show that 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.
  I was also unavoidably absent from this Chamber on April 16, 2001, 
when rollcall vote Nos. 65, 66, and 67 were cast. I want the Record to 
show that had I been present in this Chamber at the times these votes 
were cast, I would have also voted ``yea'' on each of these rollcall 
votes.
