                      CO-SPONSORSHIP OF H.R. 4061

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 9, 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.
  On May 5th the International Relations Committee filed House Report 
108-479.
  Because House rules prohibit the addition of co-sponsors to a bill 
once the committee report has been filed, I am not able to formally add 
another Member of Congress as a co-sponsor of this legislation.
  I ask that the record show that Mr. Frank of Massachusetts is in 
support of my bill and should be considered by this body as a co-
sponsor of H.R. 4061.
