On the recordDecember 21, 2010
This is a bipartisan bill that updates the 1993 legislation. The original cosponsors include myself, several other Members, including Congressman Platts and Congressman McCaul. And in the Senate, Senate supporters that we have are Voinovich; Collins; Warner, who took the lead on this, Akaka, Senator Lieberman, and basically Senator Coburn who had an amendment. So this is a bipartisan bill. It will not add a single penny to the deficit. In fact, it will save taxpayers' dollars. I urge support of it.
