  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to a commitment in my district on 
Thursday, November 15, 2001, I was unable to cast my floor vote on

rollcall vote 441 on Agreeing to the Amendments to H.R. 2269; rollcall 
vote 442 on Passage of H.R. 2269; rollcall vote 443 on Suspending the 
Rules and Agreeing to H. Con. Res. 228; and rollcall vote 445 on 
Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to H. Con. Res. 239.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 441 and 443, and ``nay'' on rollcall votes 442 and 445.
