  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on April 29, 2003 through May 1, 2003, due 
to medical reasons, I was unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall Nos.

  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 146, 147, 148, 150, and 158; and I would have voted 
``nay'' on rollcall votes 149, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, and 157.
