Status: congress.gov congress.gov@@@L&summ2=m& Both bills sponsored by democrats. Both bills are in committee. The committee is controlled by republicans who have taken no action on them. Vote for democrats so the bills will not be stalled in committee anymore :)

The twin bills, S89 and HR163, project legislation for the spring of 2005, and the draft could become operational as early as June 2005. Is this really true, though? I assume there's a way to check on individual bills in Congress -- I just don't know how to do that. Its been said repeatedly that these bills are not likely to see the light of day. However, I would feel more comfortable after this country develops a national policy on how it wants to deal in this world. Its clear we can't run helter skelter starting wars whenever we get a bug up our butts. ted
