  THE ADDITION OF COSPONSORS OF H.R. 3615, THE RURAL LOCAL BROADCAST 
                               SIGNAL ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB GOODLATTE

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2000

  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, all relevant committees have filed their 
reports on H.R. 3615, the Rural Local Broadcast Signal Act, and I was 
unable to add Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina as a cosponsor. 
However, Congressman Spratt is a strong supporter of the legislation 
and agrees that rural citizens deserve to have the benefits provided by 
the legislation, which passed the House on April 13. I regret that he 
was not able to be included as an official cosponsor.
