  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, January 8, 2003, I was 
unavoidably detained, and therefore unable to cast my floor vote on 
rollcall No. 10, a procedural vote to Table the Appeal of the Ruling of 
the Chair.
  Had I been present for the vote, I would have voted ``nay'' on 
rollcall vote 10.
