  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
chamber on December 5, 2001 when rollcall votes Nos. 469, 470, 471, 
472, 473, 474 and rollcall vote 475 were cast. I want the record to 
show that had I been present in this chamber at the time these votes 
were cast, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 469, ``yea'' on 
rollcall vote 470, ``yea'' on rollcall vote 471, ``yea'' on rollcall 
vote 472, ``yea'' on rollcall vote 473, ``yea'' on rollcall vote 474, 
and ``yea'' on rollcall vote 475.
