  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from this 
Chamber on October 28, 2003. I would like the Record to show that had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 569. I also 
would have voted ``nay'' on rolecall vote 570. Further, I would have 
voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 571, 572, and 573.
