Congressman Mondell has sponsored
the federal amendment for the past
twelve years in the lower house. In

Of the public. know it best as the
"Mondell Amendment" The Con-

the states rights objection to federal

the women can put the amendment
through both houses of Congress and
make a successful appeal to the leg

reads as follows:
