  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, July 11, 2005, I was unable to 
cast my floor vote on rollcall numbers 363 and 364. The votes I missed 
included a motion to suspend the rules and agree to H. Con. Res. 168, 
condemning the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for the abductions 
and continued captivity of citizens of the Republic of Korea and Japan 
as acts of terrorism and gross violations of human rights, and a motion 
to suspend the rules and agree to H. Res. 333, Supporting the goals and 
ideals of a National Weekend of Prayer and Reflection for Darfur, 
Sudan.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 363 and 364.
