[Lnc-business] For your consideration...(Cuban Prisoner Resolution)

[Alicia Mattson]

David,

None of the versions have achieved the 4 co-sponsors to become an email
ballot.  If you'll check back through the related threads, you'll find that:

Joshua Katz offered an option.  Ms. Harlos wanted to co-sponsor only part
of it and then said she would offer a different version.  You said you may
co-sponsor part of it but would wait to see what Caryn Ann drafted.

Caryn Ann then put a version out, which was co-sponsored by you and Joshua.

Whitney Bilyeu's version has been co-sponsored by you and Caryn Ann.

-Alicia
