I call on Congress to act now to make it illegal for anyone to clone a human being.

I'll bet you it will pass this year.

This Act establishes the Oklahoma City National Memorial as a unit of the National Park System.

This Act will strengthen and improve our National Wildlife Refuge System as we enter the 21st century.

This bill recognizes that the use of refuge lands and waters, to the extent that such use can be allowed, shall be reserved first to those recreational activities that depend and thrive on abundant populations of fish and wildlife.
