                  REGARDING COSPONSORSHIP OF H.R. 4061

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 11, 2004

  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in regards to H.R. 4061, the 
Assistance for Orphans and Vulnerable Children Act of 2004, which 
passed the House International Relations Committee by unanimous consent 
on March 31.
  Last week the International Relations Committee filed House Report 
108-479.
  Because House rules prohibit the addition of additional cosponsors to 
a bill once the committee report has been filed, I am not able to 
formally add six Members of Congress as cosponsors of this legislation.
  I ask that the record show that Mr. Olver of Massachusetts, Mr. 
Weldon of Pennsylvania, Mr. Gillmor of Ohio, Ms. Hart of Pennsylvania, 
Mr. Holt of New Jersey, and Mr. Crowley of New York are in support of 
my bill and should be considered by this body as cosponsors of H.R. 
4061.
