                      CO-SPONSORSHIP OF H.R. 4061

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 13, 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 31st.
  Last week the International Relations Committee filed House Report 
108-479.
  Because House rules prohibit the addition of additional co-sponsors 
to a bill once the committee report has been filed, I am not able to 
formally add another Member of Congress as a co-sponsor of this 
legislation.
  I ask that the record show that Mr. Terry of Nebraska is in support 
of my bill and should be considered by this body as a co-sponsor of 
H.R. 4061.
