On the recordJuly 6, 1999
If you look at what I did, if you look at my proposal, coming after the midsession review, we propose lifting the cap--I don't like the term ``lifting the caps,'' because that implies that we would again--that's like a tax investment. To me, lifting the caps is like doing a tax increase. That's like taking something that's doing a good thing that may have a bad result unless it is part of an overall plan. Mr. Brownstein. As part of an overall plan, it might make sense.
