On the recordDecember 8, 2006
I was one of the Members of the House of Representatives who was originally troubled by the House version of the bill and by the balance it struck between respect for the fallen heroes of this Nation and the Federal Constitution for which they died. I am pleased to support a much improved version of this bill returned from the other Chamber. And I thank Mr. Durbin directly for his good work on this bill to remove the unfettered discretion of Federal officials and to limit some of the proscribed activities to include intent and intent to disturb. I am pleased to support this bill in its final form.
