  U.S. HOUSE PASSES BILL TO EXTEND "50 STATES" QUARTER SERIES
  

  Have more states been added to the union? Not exactly. But the U.S.
  House of Representatives has passed a bill that would extend the "50
  States" commemorative quarter program to include Washington, D.C. and
  the U.S. territories. If I recall my civics lessons properly, the bill
  must be passed by the Senate and signed by the President to become law.
  It has been approved four times previously by the House but has been
  blocked in the Senate. With now Democrats in control, the bill may have
  a greater chance to become law.
  

  "The bill passed Tuesday. It would allow the district and American
  Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana
  Islands each to put a design on the reverse side of the quarter.
  

  "D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton believes inclusion in the program
  demonstrates that citizens of the nation's capital and territories have
  the same rights as other Americans."
