Here is even a better update on the bills in question? Sandy Norris 40/28/20 check my new site.. www.plwp.org/sandys_parkie_porch.htm "Faith is the daring of the soul to go farther than it can see." ----- Original Message ----- From: [log in to unmask] Good morning. First, thanks Tim for the OK and offer of help on the civics lesson cover letter Greg and I will write. It will be a crash refresher course for the two of us. Second, the attachment said only that no search had been entered, so I went back to Thomas and searched under both the house and senate numbers (HR 4680/S2807). And this is what I found: HR 4680.PCS (the final version in the House) Sponsor: Rep Thomas, William M. (Bill) (introduced 6/15/2000) Related Bills: H.RES.539 Latest Major Action: 6/30/2000 Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 655. Title: To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for a voluntary program for prescription drug coverage under the Medicare Program, to modernize the Medicare Program, and for other purposes. S 2807 Sponsor: Sen Breaux, John B. (introduced 6/28/2000) Latest Major Action: 6/28/2000 Referred to Senate committee Title: A bill to amend the Social Security Act to establish a Medicare Prescription Drug and Supplemental Benefit Program and to stabilize and improve the Medicare+Choice program, and for other purposes. The bill has been introduced into the Senate, but up until now has been HR 4680. I think in your letter, Tim, you would want to refer to the current bill (S2807) and Greg and I will take care of the House number id in our cover letter as part of explaining the process. Or, after you mention S2807, in parens put (formerly HR 4680). That should be perfectly clear, doncha think? Stay in touch-- aj
