On April 20, 1988,Rep. George Gekas
(R-PA) and four Republican members of

Congress filed a minority report to the"

House Judiciary Commit1ee’s report on the
Hate Crimes Statistics Act (H.R. 3193)
urging that sexual orientation be removed
from thebill. The Hate Crime Statistics Act
would mandate the collection of statistics
on crimes that are motivated by prejudice
based on race, religion, sexual orientation
and ethnicity. The House Judiciary Com-
mittee voted 21-13 to support the bill and
report it to the House floor for action.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task
Force expects the bill to reach the House
