                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 2, 1999

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, November 1, 1999 I was 
unavoidably absent from this chamber and therefore missed rollcall vote 
550 (on passage of H.R. 348), rollcall vote 551 (on passage of H.R. 
2737) and rollcall vote 552 (on passage of H.R. 1714). I want the 
record to show that had I been present in this chamber I would have 
voted ``yes'' on rollcall votes 550 and 551 and ``no'' on rollcall vote 
552.
