  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, May 22, 2002, and Thursday, 
May 23, 2002, I was unavoidably detained, and therefore unable to cast 
my floor vote on two procedural votes. The votes I missed include 
rollcall votes 196 and 197, both Motions that the Committee Rise on the 
2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act for Further Recovery from and 
Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 196 and 197.
