We reported yesterday on the House's overwhelming passage of this legislation. Read the statment of Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D - NY), the principal sponsor of the legislation. Another note: While there was substantial difference of opinion among Republicans (voting in favor by 105 to 69), there was almost none among Democrats (voting in favor by 252 to 1).
