Subject: Kerry's 11 bills that became law - quite a record!
In the debates, President Bush said that John Kerry
had written only five bills that became law.
Senator Kerry said that 56 laws he had written
(or co-written) had passed.
President Bush was apparently wrong -
there seem to be 11 that became law.
Mr. Bush should correct the record and point out Kerry's willingness to tackle the difficult issues facing the Senate and America.
In fact, there were 56 that passed in the Senate,
but only 11 of them were actually passed by both
houses of Congress and signed by a President.
Here are the 11 bills ever passed with
John Kerry's name on them:
99th Congress:
A concurrent resolution expressing solidarity with the Sakharov family
100th Congress:
None
101st Congress:
A joint resolution designating a week in Oct 1989 as
"World Population Awareness week"
102nd Congress:
Another joint resolution designating a week in Oct 1991
as "World Population Awareness week"
A joint resolution designating Nov 13, 1992 as
"Vietnam Veterans Memorial 10th Anniversary Day"
A Joint resolution designating September 18, 1992
as "National POW/MIA recognition day"
A bill to authorize appropriations to carry out
the National Sea Grant College Program Act
103rd Congress:
A bill to re-designate a federal Building as the
"Frederick C. Murphy Federal Center"
A bill to authorize appropriations for the Marine
Mammal Protection act
104th Congress:
None
105th Congress:

106th Congress:

to the Women's Business center program
107th Congress:

This is Senator Kerry's total record of achievement
in his 20 years in the U.S. Senate.
