  • Rep. Lamar Smith
  • Mark Amodei
  • Joe Baca
  • John Barrow
  • Karen Bass
  • Howard Berman
  • Marsha Blackburn
  • Mary Bono Mack
  • Steven Chabot
  • Judy Chu
  • John Conyers,

Jim Cooper
    Ted Deutch
  • Elton Gallegly
  • Robert Goodlatte
  • Peter King
  • John Larson
  • Thomas Marino
  • Alan Nunnelee
  • William Owens
  • Adam Schiff
  • Brad Sherman
  • Debbie Wasserman Schultz
  • Melvin Watt
  • The seven who withdrew were Tim Griffin, Dennis Ross, Terry Lee, John Carter, Steve Scalise, Ben Ray Lujan, Tim Holden and Ben Quayle. Marsha Blackburn seemed to indicate that he was abandoning the bill, but also on the official list. It could be a matter of time, but has been a while since I made the comment.
