  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to official business on Wednesday, 
January 23, 2002, and Thursday, January 24, 2002, I was unable to cast 
my floor vote on rollcall numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. The votes I missed 
include rollcall vote 1 on the Quorum Call of the House; rollcall vote 
2 on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree to the Senate Amendment to 
H.R. 700, to Reauthorize the Asian Elephant Conservation Act; rollcall 
vote 3 on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as Amended, H.R. 2234, 
the Tumacacori National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act; and 
rollcall vote 4 on Passage of S. 1762, the Higher Education Act 
Amendments.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``present'' on 
rollcall vote 1, and ``aye'' on rollcall votes 2, 3, and 4.
