&lt;p&gt;Latest Major Action: 6/28/2007: Referred to Senate committee. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --&gt;
