H.R. 1362, ACCOUNTABILITY IN CONTRACTING ACT VOTE 155: ON THE MOTION TO 
                       RECOMMIT WITH INSTRUCTIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN J. HALL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 15, 2007

  Mr. HALL of New York. Madam Speaker, unfortunately, the amending text 
contained in the motion to recommit was not fully debated or its full 
ramifications considered prior to the vote, and I cast my vote on the 
limited information available. As a result, my vote was informed by my 
concern over the current state of military recruiting. Nonetheless, I 
wish to reaffirm my opposition to the military's policy of ``Don't Ask, 
Don't Tell'' and my belief that the policy should be discontinued, as 
well as my support for the 1st amendment rights of American 
universities.
