before january 21, 2009, there were three separate attempts to repeal order 13233. in 2002, shortly after order 13233 went into effect, a bipartisan group of u.s. house of representatives members, led by stephen horn (r-ca), dan burton (r-in), jan schakowsky (d-il), and henry waxman (d-ca) wrote and debated a bill aimed at repealing order 13233, thereby restoring order 12667 to full force and effect. the bill passed the house committee on oversight and government reform, which was chaired by burton at the time, but never saw floor action.
