                         COSPONSORSHIP--S. 3406

  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, through an oversight of our two offices we 
neglected to add Senator Dole as an original cosponsor to this act when 
we introduced it last night. Senator Dole is a leader on disability 
issues and should be commended for her and her husband's commitment to 
individuals with disabilities.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I want to apologize to the Senator from 
North Carolina for this oversight. Our legislation, S. 3406, enjoys 
broad support among advocates for individuals with disabilities, and I 
want everyone in that community to know that Senator Dole intended to 
be an original cosponsor of this measure. We look forward to working 
closely with her and the rest of our colleagues to pass this measure 
when the Senate reconvenes in September.
