                  ADDITIONAL COSPONSORS FOR H.R. 3167

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG BEREUTER

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 7, 2001

  Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. Speaker, due to House Rules, unfortunately there 
were several Members of Congress who wanted to cosponsor, H.R. 3167, 
the Gerald B.H. Solomon Freedom Consolidation Act of 2001, but were 
unable to be officially listed by the House Bill Clerk under our House 
Rules. The distinguished gentleman from Texas [Mr. Thornberry], the 
distinguished gentleman from Maryland [Mr. Wynn], the distinguished 
gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Borski] and the distinguished 
gentleman from New York [Mr. Sweeney] all contacted my office to 
cosponsor; however, their names were not added as cosponsors since the 
House International Relations Committee reported the bill on November 
5th. This Member regrets that they were not added, but wants to 
recognize their intentions in this fashion.
