Deal (R-Ga.), Ehrlich (R-Md.), Largent (R-Okla.), Pickering (R-Miss.), Stearns (R-Fla.) and Wilson (R-N.M.) as initial co-sponsors. Gillmor was given task of drafting bill by Republicans on House Commerce Committee, and Democrats have complained that they haven’t been privy to drafting (CD Nov 3 p7).
