  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, July 6, 2004, I was unable to 
cast my floor vote on rollcall Nos. 326 and 327. The votes I missed 
include rollcall vote 326 on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree, 
as amended, to H. Con. Res. 410, Recognizing the 25th Anniversary of 
the Adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of the Marshall 
Islands; and rollcall vote 327 on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and 
Agree to H. Con. Res. 257, Expressing the sense of Congress that the 
President should posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom 
to Harry W. Colmery.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 326 and 327.
