                 REGARDING CO-SPONSORSHIP OF H.R. 4061

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 6, 2004

  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in regards to H.R. 4061, the 
Assistance for Orphans and Vulnerable Children Act of 2004, which 
passed the House International Relations Committee by unanimous consent 
on March 31st.
  Last night the International Relations Committee filed House Report 
108-479.
  Because House rules prohibit the addition of additional co-sponsors 
to a bill once the committee report has been filed, I was not able to 
formally add seven Members of Congress as co-sponsors of this 
legislation.
  I ask that the Record show that Mr. Inslee of Washington, Mr. Souder 
of Indiana, Mr. Osborne of Nebraska, Mr. Davis of Illinois, Ms. Majette 
of Georgia, Mr. Udall of New Mexico, and Mr. Hunter of California are 
in support of my bill and should be considered by this body as 
cosponsors of H.R. 4061.
