  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, January 27, 2003, I was unable 
to cast my floor vote on rollcall numbers 13 and 14. The votes I missed 
include rollcall vote 13 on Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to H. 
Res. 26, as Amended, Honoring the Contributions of Catholic Schools; 
rollcall vote 14 on Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to H. Res. 25, 
Supporting Awareness of Need for Youth Mentors. Had I been present for 
the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall votes 13 and 14.
