- The existing bill is called the "Freedom of Choice Act". It has been introduced
- in both chambers of Congress. Patricia Schroeder's (D-Colo.) office should
- be able to identify the main sponsors of the bill, who should in turn help

- mail a copy of the history of the "Freedom of Choice Act" to you.
