On the recordNovember 7, 1997

I think one thing that I must say is that, in my opinion, this $220 billion industry can cope with this bill--not only cope with it, but that industry, business, and the consumers of this country will all benefit from this, and the Nation will benefit because it is a global economy where we are competing so strenuously with the other nations of the world. Electricity is such a big part of our producing industry, and the less they pay the more competitive we become. That ought to be a real incentive for the people of this body to look very seriously at this bill.
