rollcall vote number 228 H. Con. Res 44--Recognizing the historical 
significance of the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo; ``yea'' on 
rollcall vote number 229 H. Res. 282--Expressing the sense of the House

Nations member states and urging action against anti-Semitism by United 
Nations officials, United Nations member states, and the Government of 
the United States.
