  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, due to business in my District on Tuesday, 
April 9, 2002, I was unable to cast my floor vote on roll call numbers 
80, 81, and 82. The votes I missed include roll call vote 80, on 
Approving the Journal; roll call vote 81, on Motion to Suspend the 
Rules and agree to H. Res. 377, Recognizing the Ellis Island Medal of 
Honor and commending the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations; 
and roll call vote 82 on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as 
Amended, H.R. 3958, the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Settlement 
Act. Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
roll call votes 80, 81, and 82.
