On the recordOctober 26, 2000
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 5314 is a noncontroversial bill that helps facilitate the adoption of military working dogs at the end of their careers. This bill passed the House of Representatives on October 10, 2000, by a voice vote. When the bill went to the Senate, Senator Robb offered three amendments which are technical in nature and merely tighten the language in the bill which prevents Federal liability. These technical amendments were done at the request of the Department of Defense, and I concur with them. Concurring with these amendments today will move this bill to the White House for signature. I urge my colleagues to support the Senate amendments.
