  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber on October 29, 2003. I would like the record to show that had I 
been present in this Chamber, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall 
votes 574 and 575. I also would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 
576, 577, 578 and 579.
