[Guest guest]

Sen. Clinton is Senate's main sponsor????????? Where did they get this WE

were down in DC for the announcement. This was Sen. Santorum's bill and He got

Dodd ( D- Conn) to co sponsor. Have this reporter get the facts right.

The reporter's information is correct. This is a DIFFERENT bill from the

Combating Autism Act of 2006 which also was passed on the same day in the Senate

and is going to the President for signature. The Lifespan Respite Care Act was

sponsored by Clinton, and the Combating Autism Act was sponsored, as you

noted, by Rick Santorum and Dodd.

So, two positive developments in one day.
