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?
