                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 22, 2000

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from the House 
floor when a vote was taken on amendment number 204 regarding the 
School of the Americas. I have always voted in support of any amendment 
to eliminate and/or drastically change the way this school functions 
and had I been present in this Chamber when this vote was cast, I would 
have voted ``yes.''
