Political Quotes

On the recordApril 20, 1994
I agree with the Senator. This amendment has passed the Senate twice. It is really unrelated to bankruptcy. But the fact is that it has passed the Senate twice, and has not passed the House. I say to the distinguished Senator from Nevada that House Members from Nevada would have a responsibility of getting the House to agree to this, otherwise we would be in the same situation. But the fact that the Senator has diligently and doggedly pursued this matter on behalf of the citizens of Nevada especially is commendable, that while it is not germane to the bill, we can accept it. We have a different rule in the Senate than we do in the House in that we can put nongermane amendments on Senate bills. But I do say that I hope the Members of the House of Representatives from Nevada, and other States that are similarly situated, will take on the responsibility of getting the House to agree to this in conference.
