5. I dont know everything about it
Edited on Sat Nov-08-03 05:10 PM by Egnever
Here is a link to what I have found so far

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:HR02833:@@@L&summ2=m&

this is from the Thomas archives.

And assorted other pages like these

However, when this Bill arrived in the Senate, Senator Kerry single-handedly placed an indefinite hold on this bill, denying his 99 fellow Senators the opportunity to vote on the bill. Senator Kerry's hold will practically kill this bill when the 107th Congress adjourns later this year.

Congressman Chris Smith, Vice Chairman of the House Committee on International Relations, has been joined by 30 bipartisan colleagues in reintroducing the Vietnam Human Rights Act today.

Smith introduced similar legislation during the last Congress. That bill passed the House by a vote of 410-1 but died in the Senate because Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts placed a hold on the bill and prevented it from being brought to the floor for a vote.
