  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on June 15, 2000 and in the early hours of 
June 16, 2000, I was traveling to my District, and therefore unable to 
cast my votes on rollcall numbers 280 through 291. Had I been present 
for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall votes 281, 283, 
284, 285, 286, 287, and 290; and ``nay'' on rollcall votes 280, 282, 
288, 289, and 291.
