HILL UPDATE: Official hearing on Resolution of Inquiry RE: DSM - NOW! |
|
Several Democrats, including Lantos, spoke in support of H Res 375 (82 cosponsors), as did one Republican, Leach. Hyde put the vote off until 2 p.m. ET.
Debate shifted to a very similar resolution from Rep. Hinchey (H Res 408) (0 cosponsors), and so continued to focus on the Downing Street Minutes.
At 12:25, Hyde shifted the debate to H Res 419 (20 cosponsors), Rep. Holt's Resolution of Inquiry into the exposure of Valerie Plame's identity.
At 12:39 Rep. Barbara Lee spoke about the erosion of democracy and about the obligation of a committee that authorized war to provide the public with the reasons the nation went to war, the reasons our resources (over $300 billion)were spent on that war and unavailable for this country.
At 12:45 Hyde recessed until 2 p.m., at which time the committee will vote on all three resolutions.
Hyde noted that two members are absent: Royce and Payne (a likely no and yes vote, respectively).
I will keep updating this, as we have folks in the committee giving us updates as I type...

Thanks for all your hard work over the last several months. It's really showing results.
The real result, of course, if H.Res. 375 garners a winning vote.
I'm including a list of IR Members and #s -- a reminder not to miss the vote would be helpful.
Bold indicates who's a cosponsor.
Thanks again. -Ven
