                      CO-SPONSORSHIP OF H.R. 4061

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 18, 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 31.
  On May 5 the International Relations Committee filed House Report 
108-479.
  Because House rules prohibit the addition of cosponsors to a bill 
once the committee report has been filed, I am not able to formally add 
three Members of Congress as cosponsors of this legislation.
  I ask that the Record show that Mr. Calvert of California, Mr. Bachus 
of Alabama, and Mr. Gerlach of Pennsylvania are in support of my bill 
and should be considered by this body as cosponsors a of H.R. 4061.
