  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Wednesday, May 5, 1999, I was unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall 
numbers 108 through 115. The votes I missed include rollcall vote 108 
on Approving the Journal; rollcall vote 109 on Ordering the Previous 
Question; rollcall vote 110 on the Hyde amendment to H.R. 833, the 
Bankruptcy Reform Act; rollcall vote 111 on the Moran amendment to H.R. 
833; rollcall vote 112 on the Conyers amendment to H.R. 833; rollcall 
vote 113 on the Watt amendment to H.R. 833; rollcall vote 114 on the 
Nadler substitute amendment to H.R. 833; and rollcall vote 115 on 
passage of H.R. 833.
  Had I been present for the preceding votes, I would have voted 
``yes'' on rollcall votes 108, 110, 111, 112, 113, and 114. I would 
have voted ``no'' on rollcall votes 109 and 115.
