  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, July 8, 2002, due to business in 
my District, I was unable to cast my floor vote on roll call numbers 
283, and 284. The votes I missed include roll call vote 283 on the 
Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 4609, the Rathdrum Prairie 
Spokane Valley Aquifer Study Act; and roll call vote 284 on the Motion 
to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as amended H.R. 2643, the Fort Clatsop 
National Memorial Expansion Act.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``yea'' on roll 
call votes 283 and 284.
