  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber on May 13, 2003. I would like the record to show that, had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 183, 184, 
and 185. On May 19, 2003, I was also unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber. I would like the record to show that had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 192, 193, and 194. 
Furthermore, I was absent from this Chamber on May 23, 2003, and had I 
been present in this Chamber, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall 
vote 226.
