Found on newsgroup.No source cited. Bill may have minimized this mess? I've searched phrases but only get results where the words are scattered across some unrelated text.
Enlightening proposal.
Who spoke?
Who fought against?
Currently sitting?
It does not link me to govtrack from the newsgroup and when I go around and to govtrack.us from the outside I can't find THIS bill.
This seems crucial to deciphering the current situation.
