On the recordJanuary 12, 1995
if I could just ask the Senator regarding the point of order issue which he has raised it against. Again, however, it is not a supermajority. It is a 50-vote point of order. So, essentially, if someone offers an amendment on the floor relative to this bill, relative to any piece of legislation, which amendment involved an unfunded mandate of $50 million for the public sector, $200 million for the private sector, then the point of order would be raised, but it would not create an extensive delay because the amendment would either pass with 50 votes or fail with 50 votes, and the point of order would pass or fail with 50 votes. So it would be a fairly simple event to get a vote on it and move that issue.
