  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Monday, January 31, 2000, I was unable to cast my floor vote on 
rollcall Nos. 2-3. The votes I missed include rollcall vote No. 2 on 
Suspending the Rules and agreeing to H. Con. Res. 244, Authorizing the 
Use of the Rotunda for Holocaust Memorial; and rollcall vote No. 3 on 
Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to Senate Amendments to H.R. 2130, 
the Hillory J. Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Prevention Drug Act 
of 1999.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes Nos. 2 and 3.
