We really have to quit meeting like this...I mean two times in one day is to much for me to handle. I don't get paid for this, and you do!

I probably made an error by calling the Resolution a Bill. I stand corrected. On further research, I found the following at:
Glossary

HCON 487 IH

Concurrent Resolutions

H.Con.Res   House Concurrent Resolution
S.Con.Res.   Senate Concurrent Resolution

A concurrent resolution is a legislative proposal that requires the approval of both houses but does not require the signature of the President and does not have the force of law. Concurrent resolutions generally are used to make or amend rules that apply to both houses. They are also used to express the sentiments of both of the houses. For example, a concurrent resolution is used to set the time of Congress' adjournment. It may also be used by Congress to convey congratulations to another country on the anniversary of its independence."

More or less, a notice of a prelude to tougher legislation.

No doubt. I was working at CFR HQ and posting until 2:00am, and back at the office (and posting) at 9:45am. Now, it's almost 11:00pm and I'm still here. I get overtime, but Mr. Pastor insists on paying me in Ameros. What a bitch.

Instead of worrying about the NAFTA highway transversing Texas, maybe you should worry about Arizona's NAFTA highway

Hmmmmmmmmmm, this is interesting.

You have pointed out that Tancredo has signed the "Resolution" opposing NAFTA highways.

Yet we see that Tancredo has secured federal funding to improve two NAFTA highways in Colorado. First, I25 which is known as the El Camino Real NAFTA highway that originates in El Paso, and second, the Ports to Plains NAFTA highway that originates in Laredo.

Tancredo's NAFTA highway earmarks

I wish we could get some that thar federal funding in Texas. We will be lucky if we can get them to pay for a environmental study.
