R. 3481, the Stop Taxpayer Funded Cell Phones Act of 2011, was introduced by Rep. Tim Griffin (R-AR) with three co-sponsors, Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-LA), Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) and Rep. Dennis Ross (R-FL) on November 18, 2011.
Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, an ardent opponent of embryonic stem cell research, promised to filibuster the spending bill until Specter dropped the broader stem cell language.
Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, announced his support for tightly limited embryonic stem-cell research, a spokesman for Kerry said the senator felt it was important to make it clear to the White House there were more than just a handful of senators who feel strongly about the issue.
