Quote:The 2002 set of amendments were led by Joe. The original 2001 Bill, S.10, was sponsored by Daschle, and cosponsored by Joe, and the rest of the progressive (socialist) caucus.Ah, there it is. It seems to be one of a great number of similar things, all brought in around the same time. I'm afraid my limited skill on parsing congressional bills has run dry. Was Biden's role key, or trivial? I can't tell.
You can go to Thomas.gov, search for bills by text or sponsorship.
From what I can see so far, however, this was an initiative that went through both houses in several parts, and with lots of co-sponsors. The House bill appears to be introduced by a Republican, Rep. Nancy Johnson? The one you linked to above, H.R. 4954?
