Neither is related to e-mail or the Postal Service. Same results for the 105th and 104th congress. Searching Yahoo! People in Vienna, VA, for Kate Turner and Richard Stepp yielded nothing. Searching Yahoo! Yellow Pages under Law Firms in Vienna, VA, for Berger, Stepp and Gorman and for Stepp yielded nothing. -- David Christensen dchristensen AT california DOT com Bill Summary & Status for the 106th Congress ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Item 1 of 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- PREVIOUS BILL:ALL | NEXT BILL:ALL NEW SEARCH | HOME | HELP ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- H.R.602 SPONSOR: Rep Scarborough, Joe (introduced 02/04/99) ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Jump to: Titles, Status, Committees, Amendments, Cosponsors, Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- TITLE(S): SHORT TITLE(S) AS INTRODUCED: Civil Service Long-Term Care Insurance Benefit Act OFFICIAL TITLE AS INTRODUCED: A bill to amend title 5, United States Code, to provide for the establishment of a program under which long-term care insurance may be obtained by Federal employees and annuitants. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- STATUS: Floor Actions ***NONE*** ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- STATUS: Detailed Legislative Status House Actions Feb 4, 99: Referred to the House Committee on Government Reform.
