               EXPLANATION REGARDING COSPONSORING A BILL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD SHERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mr. SHERMAN. Madam Speaker, I wish to clarify that when I cosponsor a 
bill, it does not necessarily mean that I agree with every part of it. 
At a minimum, my cosponsorship indicates that I support moving the bill 
forward through the legislative process, including being marked up in 
committee, and if sent to the floor by the relevant committee(s), then 
subject to consideration and amendment on the floor.
