1) Extend certain powers of the state department by 1 year including International Broadcasting Bureau personal services contracting pilot program under which U.S. citizens or aliens are hired as personal services contractors, without regard to Civil Service and classification laws.
2) Designate the week of September 14-20 polycystic kidney disease awareness week. No you don't get the week off.
3) Designate the US courthouse located at 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, New York, as the "Theodore Roosevelt United States Courthouse". I'm sure Theo's proud to have gotten some of Congress's time.
4) Prohibited the use or recruitment of child soldiers. Wasn't this already illegal? The Senate and House passed different versions so they have to work out the differences before it can go to the president to be signed or vetoed. So if you want to recruit or use child soldiers, now's the time! Remember, US law is not ex post facto!
past week:
5) killing civilians:
US Government responsible for death of 1 woman, 4 security officers while on duty patrolling and Dr Abdul Salam al-Shimari, Head of Internal Disease Dept at Baquba General Hospital (Iraq)
UK Government responsible for death of a man in his own home.
