  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, December 17, 2005, I was 
unable to cast my floor vote on rollcall numbers 663 and 664. The votes 
I missed included a vote to agree to resolution H. Res. 623, providing 
for consideration of motions to suspend the rules, and a motion to 
suspend the rules and agree to the senate amendment on H.R. 2520, the 
Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``nay'' on 
rollcall 663 and ``aye'' on rollcall vote 664.
