  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Madam Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber today. I would like the record to show that, had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 1 and 4; ``nay'' 
on rollcall vote 3; and for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-08) on rollcall vote 
2 for the election of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
