I have tried to contact Mr. Rangel's offices in DC and NY, with no answer. I have also tried to email him from his website, I do not have an address from his district and it will not go through. I am trying to find out if he is working on reintroducing this bill in the coming session or future sessions. As we discussed last night, this is probably the best legislation in the "works" currently for most of our guys. It appears that this is not being pursued by anyone in congress at this time.

This bill never became law. This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
