  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, June 18, I was honored to 
be the keynote speaker at my daughter Jessica's eighth grade graduation 
ceremony and was therefore absent from this chamber during the last two 
votes of the day. I would like the Record to show that had I been 
present in this chamber, I would have voted ``yea'' on roll call votes 
237 and roll call vote 238.
