When the Senate reconvenes tomorrow, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will have two bills (among others) to consider:
- S.3787, sponsored by Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), to establish a Congressional commission on modern-day slavery;
- S.3801, sponsored by Sen. Gordon H. Smith (R-OR), to support the implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement and to protect
the lives and address the humanitarian needs of the people of Darfur.
Please note that modern-day Muslims are intimately connected with both these modern-day problems.
Senator Barbara Boxer is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. What is her opinion on these two bills? I don't know, so I've
emailed her office to find out. I'll post any received response here.
