  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Monday, May 15, 2000, I was unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall 
Nos. 180-182. The votes I missed include rollcall vote 180 on the 
Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree to H. Res. 491, naming a room in 
the House of Representatives wing of the Capitol in honor of G.V. 
``Sonny'' Montgomery; rollcall vote 181 on the Motion to Suspend the 
Rules and Pass, as Amended H.R. 4251, Congressional Oversight of 
Nuclear Transfers to North Korea Act; and rollcall 182 on the Motion to 
Suspend the Rules and Agree to H. Con. Res. 309, Expressing the Sense 
of the Congress with Regard to in-School Personal Safety Education 
Programs for Children.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 180, 181, and 182.
