Bill #2

2) Rep. Chad Burns (R-VA) proposed a bill entitled "Relocation Incentives Bill." The majority opinion is that despite the costs in the short term, the boost to our economy in the long term. The minority opinion is that while the intention of the bill is good, there are two other bills that are all conflicting and we could save a lot of money and time in joining the three bills together.

Rep. Burns (R-VA) argued that his bill was the only one of the three that provided a positive incentive rather than just negative consequences. Rep. Perez (R-FL) called for recess to reconvene the committees.

President Obama asked for a recess to address the rumor that Osama bin Laden is still alive. Congress voted to remain in debate of Bill #2.

Bill passed 7-6. President Normandin signed the bill.
