On the recordMay 5, 2004
would the Senator point out anything in the legislation before this body now that would take any action against any companies if they did not abide by what they said they were going to use it for? Do they lose their tax deduction? Is there anything in the legislation, without my amendment, that would say what would happen to companies if they use it for something totally different from what their plans say they are going to use it for? Suppose they decided to use it for something totally unrelated to job creation. Is there anything, without my amendment, that says what would happen to those companies?
