  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on November 2, 3, 13, and 14, as well as 
December 4, 2000, I was detained with business in my District, and 
therefore unable to cast my votes on rollcall numbers 592 through 599. 
Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
rollcall votes 592, 593, 594, 597, 598 and 599; and ``nay'' on rollcall 
votes 595 and 596.
