H.Res. 821 · 108th Congress
Condemning the abduction of Dylan Benwell from the United States and calling for his return.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Agreed to without a recorded vote. It was agreed to by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted.

What it does: CRS summary · Passed House without amendment · Oct 7, 2004
(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.)
States that the House of Representatives condemns the abduction of Dylan Benwell from his home in the United States, the country of his custodial mother's domicile.
Commends the actions taken by the Office of Children's Issues of the Department of State, the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, Ireland, and the police department of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, especially Detective Sergeant Tim Borowski.
Calls upon the Government of Ireland to: (1) recognize that this matter does not pertain to the custodial rights of Dylan's maternal grandparents, a matter already decided by the courts, and instead relates to a violation of U.S. law and the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction; and (2) secure the prompt return of Dylan to the United States.
