  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Monday, October 25, 1999, I was unable to cast my floor vote on 
rollcall numbers 533-536.
  The votes I missed include rollcall vote 533 on approving the 
Journal; rollcall vote 534 on the motion to suspend the rules and pass, 
as amended H.R. 754, Made in America Information Act; rollcall vote 535 
on the motion to suspend the rules and pass, as amended H.R. 2303, 
History of the House Awareness and Preservation Act; and rollcall vote 
536 on the motion to suspend the rules and agree to House Concurrent 
Resolution 194, recognizing the contributions of 4-H Clubs and their 
members to voluntary community service.


  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 533, 534, 535, and 536.
