It is as I stated. Please follow the links as stated above. You have to
read the detailed, entire text of the legislation, and you must look at the
early copies as originally filed, as I stated. The later copies which you
read have the language we are concerned with deleted, as I stated. That
does not mean it cant come back.

Agreed, however the search engine works just fine as H4205.
I scanned through the whole bill and didn't see anything remotely like what

It is the early versions in detail that you have to read.

4205

I never stated that this was a last minute amendment. It was the original
language before it was amended to what it is presently.

Agreed and perhaps that is why at the moment this section is out.

Fit or not it was in the original Armed services comm. draft as submitted
and printed.

I dont think I need to do more at this point. I can read it in black and
white and have contacted my Senators.
