                         Tuesday, July 25, 2006

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, July 24, 2006, I was unable to 
cast my floor vote on rollcall Nos. 394, 395 and 396. The votes I 
missed included motions to suspend the rules and pass the Electronic 
Duck Stamp Act of 2005 (S. 1496), the National Heritage Areas Act of 
2005 (S. 203) and a bill to establish a grant program whereby moneys 
collected from violations of the corporate average fuel economy program 
are used to expand infrastructure necessary to increase the 
availability of alternative fuels (H.R. 5534).
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall Nos. 394, 395 and 396.
