  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, December 18, 2001, due to 
business in my District, I was unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall 
No. 499, on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 3379, the Raymond 
M. Downey Post Office Building; and rollcall No. 500 on Motion to 
Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 3054, the True American Heroes Act.
