i introduced 5532, the international adoption harmonization act of 2010 to correct long-standing problems and inconsistencies with respect to adoptions of foreign children by u.s. citizen parents. first, the bill would har mondayize the age requirements and provide needed election built in cases where adoptions take longer. our law contains two age requirements relating to the adoption of foreign children. the rule is that an adoption must be finalized before a child turns 16 in order for the child to qualify for legal status in the united states. for any sibling of such a child, the adoption must be finalized before the sibling's 18th birthday but only if the sibling comes from a country that has not signed the hague convention. the age cutoff from signatory countries is 16. these different requirements create confusion in particular with respect to more stringent requirements for the signatory countries, the 16-year-old cutoff provision. it fails -- failing to meet the cutoff could have disastrous consequences. the 16-year-old age requirement prevents a small number of foreign children

the electronic signature, esign, represents a critical step in harmonizing the world's global commerce and clause law with increasingly internet-dependent world. this happened during the 106th congress, it was my second congress, i came in the 105th. and i think the other important information with other digital ecommerce issues that were approaching and discussing woorks err discussing one in the committee now, which is the 21st century access to disabilities which is trying to make sure that the digital age doesn't leave the disability community behind. so the question that we face in the committee today is how much do we make sure that we set the standards but we don't dictate technology? because if we dictate technology we disincentivize the folks who are the smarts behind this new age. and what we did on esign is say, here's the standards, you smart people out there figure it out. make sure that privacy is protected, make sure that you can continue to keep data, if people want hard copy. and the other thing we allowed is we allowed the consumers to choose. we really did allow the

contingency contracting and then ensure that these individuals meet on a regular business in order to harmonize policies and standards. fourth, deal better with the military implications. the unprecedented number of private contracto on the battlefield and the vast scope of their activities put dilemmas for the u.s. military. the department of defense needs to give much more strategic thought to the role that private contractors play. they should consult with contractors during the military mission planning process. include the roles of contractors in predeployment training and have military education courses. fifth, clarify laws and regulations. the legal framework governing expeditionary contractors in wartime is complicated. it features overlapping jurisdictions and it's ambiguous. the department of defense together with the department of justice should clarify how the rious laws that apply to contractors -- we believe that congress should amend the military jurisdiction act to cover all expeditionary contractors and streamline acquisition regulations that govern u.s. service contracting in
