[Guest guest]

Well, it was passed in the House Friday afterall....I don't know how that could

happen with the same crowd as the day before and no discussion as far as I

know...they asked for suspension of rules both days.

Better step on it hard as it approaches the Senate...not sure of the actions we

can take now.
