This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/112/2/hres193.

Background

On December 1, 2008, prior to the abduction of Noor and Ramsay, the Probate and Family Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts awarded sole legal custody of Noor and Ramsay to Colin Bower, and joint physical custody with Mirvat el Nady. The ruling stipulated that Mirvat el Nady was not to remove Noor and Ramsay from the Commonwealth. On August 11, 2009, Noor and Ramsay Bower were abducted to Egypt by Mirvat el Nady and granted entry to Egypt without prior issuance of United States visas. In August 2009, local and Federal warrants were issued for the arrest of Mirvat el Nady on charges of kidnapping and in April of 2010, a red notice was issued by Interpol for the same purpose internationally.

Summary

H. Res. 193 calls for the safe and immediate return of Noor and Ramsay Bower to the United States.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
