                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 28, 1999

  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, on August 5, 1999, I asked unanimous consent 
on the House floor to remove my name as a cosponsor of H.R. 850, the 
Security and Freedom through Encryption (SAFE) Act. However, as a 
result of House Report 106-117 being filed with the House Clerk, House 
rules prohibited further action on the bill. Consequently, my name was 
not removed as a cosponsor. Please let the Record show that it was my 
intent to no longer be listed as a cosponsor of H.R. 850.
