           By Ms. KELLY of Illinois:
       H.R. 225.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       US Const. Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3 (``The Congress has the 
     Power . . . To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and 
     among the several states, and with the Indian tribes[.]''). 
     The sale, transfer, and mnufacturing of firearms crosses 
     state lines, and is therefore a component of interstate 
     commerce--making firearm safety regulations a valid 
     regulation of interstate commerce.
