           By Mr. GOOD of Virginia:
       H.R. 6446.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution maintains that 
     the American peoples' rights are not limited to those clearly 
     enumerated in the Bill of Rights: ``The numeration in the 
     Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to 
     deny or disparage others retained by the people.''
       Article I, Section 8 contemplates Congress' authority to `` 
     . . . to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper 
     for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all 
     other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of 
     the United States, or any Department or Officer thereof''.
