In an excerpt, members debated an amendment to the U.S. Constitution

which would bar desecration of the American flag. The legislation

would allow each state to decide what “desecration” means. The

resolution later passed in the House. Rep. Ackerman exhibited a box

full of items such as underwear and paper plates, which had U.S. flags

Rep. Solomon is chair of the House Rules Committee. Rep. Hyde is chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Gilman is chair of the House International Relations Committee. close
