                       Tuesday, November 1, 2005

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, October 28, 2005, I was unable 
to cast my floor votes on rollcall Nos. 555 and 556.
  The votes I missed included agreeing to the Conference Report on the 
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and 
Related Appropriations Act of 2006 and agreeing to the resolution 
condemning Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's threats against 
Israel.
  Had I been present for these votes, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 555 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 556.
