                       Tuesday, October 18, 2005

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, October 17, 2005, I was unable 
to cast my floor vote on rollcall Nos. 521, 522 and 523. The rollcalls 
I missed included a vote on approving the journal, a vote recognizing 
the importance and positive contributions of chemistry to our everyday 
lives and supporting the goals and ideals of National Chemistry Week, 
and a vote expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with 
respect to raising awareness and enhancing the state of computer 
security in the United States, and supporting the goals and ideals of 
National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 521, 522 and 523.
