  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, May 20, 2004, I was 
unavoidably detained, and unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall 
numbers 203 and 204. The votes I missed include rollcall vote 203 on 
the Tauscher Amendment to H.R. 4200, the Defense Authorization Act for 
FY 2005; and rollcall vote 204 on the Ryun (KS) amendment to H.R. 4200.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall vote 203 and ``nay'' on rollcall vote 204.
