9/11 Commission Recommendations Passed

The Senate, after two months, has passed the bill to implement 9/11 Commission Recommendations. If you remember, the House passed this bill on January 9, 2007. Like in the House, all 50 Senate Democrats voted aye. (Tim Johnson is still recovering.) The bill won the support for 10 Republicans;

Senator Kit Bond (R-Missouri)
Senator Norm Coleman (R-Minnesota)
Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine)
Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-North Carolina)
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)
Senator Gordon Smith (R-Oregon)
Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)
Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania)
Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
Senator George Voinovich (R-Ohio)
