Yes, for those of you in the US the bill introduced on 9/25/98 after the Great
American Milk-In finally has a number; it is H.R.4628.  This bill was referred
to the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight.

Basically this bill is to ensure a woman's right to breastfeed her child on
any portion of Federal property where the woman and her child are otherwise
authorized to be.

Current cosponsors are:
        Rep. Shays (CT)                 Rep. DeGette (CO)
        Rep. Frost (TX)                         Rep. Gutierrez (IL)
        Rep. N. Johnson (CT)            Rep. Kilpatrick (MI)
        Rep. Lantos      (CA)                   Rep. Jackson-Lee (TX)
        Rep. K. McCarthy (MO)           Rep. McDermott (WA)
        Rep. Meehan (MA)                        Rep. Morella (MD)
        Rep. Nadler      (NY)                   Rep. Norton (DC)

The bill, with it's complete wording and cosponsors can easily be followed via
the internet at:
        http://thomas.loc.gov/
Remember that there is no www in the website address.  We need constitutent
support and this will also help H.R.3531.  Please write or call your
legislator in support of both bills.

If you have any questions or want more information, feel free to contact me at

Thanks in advance for your help and support.
