                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on May 25, 2000, I was unavoidably detained 
during rollcall votes: No. 229, on Ordering the Previous Question on H. 
Res. 511, Providing for the Consideration of H.R. 3916, to Amend the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to Repeal the Excise Tax on Telephone and 
Other Communication Services; No. 230 on Agreeing to the Resolution, H. 
Res. 511; and No. 231 on Agreeing to the Resolution, H. Con. Res. 331, 
Commending Israel's Redeployment from Southern Lebanon. Had I been 
present for the votes, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 229, 
and ``aye'' on rollcall votes 230 and 231.
