  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Monday, June 7, 1999, I was unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall

approving the Journal; rollcall vote 168 to suspend the rules

and agree to the Senate amendment on H.R. 435, the Miscellaneous Trade 
and Technical Corrections Act; and rollcall vote 169 on the motion to 
suspend the rules and pass H.R. 1915, to provide grants to the States 
to improve the reporting of unidentified and missing persons.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 167, 168, and 169.
