  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on October 28 and 29, 2000, I was detained 
with business in my District, and therefore unable to cast my votes on 
roll call numbers 570 through 576. Had I been present for the votes, I 
would have voted ``yea'' on roll call votes 570 through 576.
  In addition, this morning, I was unavoidably detained, and therefore 
unable to cast my votes on roll call numbers 577 and 578. Had I been 
present for the votes, I would have voted ``yea'' on roll call votes 
577 and 578.
