On the recordJune 21, 2004

H.R. 3797, a bill introduced by the chairman of the Committee on Government Reform, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Davis), authorizes the operations of the District of Columbia government. The bill, the first of its kind, actually, provides a vehicle to address necessary changes in Federal law pertaining to the District of Columbia. This legislation will give the mayor and the city's leadership necessary autonomy by allowing them to only have to deal with the House Committee of Jurisdiction, the Committee on Government Reform, on changes to Federal laws that affect the District. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Davis) and the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton) for ushering H.R. 3797 through the Committee on Government Reform and on to the floor today, and I support its passage.
