               REGARDING CO-SPONSORSHIP OF H. CON. RES. 7

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 7, 2007

  Ms. LEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today in regards to H. Con. Res. 7, 
the Darfur Partner's for Peace Act, which calls on the League of Arab 
States and each Member State individually to acknowledge the genocide 
in the Darfur region of Sudan and to step up their efforts to stop it.
  On April 26, 2007 the House passed my bill by a vote of 425-1.
  Because House rules prohibit the addition of additional co-sponsors 
to a bill once the House has passed a bill, I am not able to formally 
add eight Members of Congress as co-sponsors of this legislation.
  I ask that the record show that Ms. Bordallo of Guam, Mr. Sestak of 
Pennsylvania, Mr. Levin of Michigan, Ms. DeLauro of Connecticut, Mr. 
Neal of Massachusetts, Mr. Salazar of Colorado, Mr. Tierney of 
Massachusetts, and Ms. Lofgren of California are in support of my bill 
and should be considered by this body as co-sponsors of H. Con. Res. 7.
