Dale Bumpers: “If I may, let me say I am not here to debate whether the executive…”

On the recordMay 5, 1994

If I may, let me say I am not here to debate whether the executive rules are stricter or more lenient than ours. I am really not concerned about them. I am concerned about the ones that my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate are going to have to comply with. The question was: If someone leaves a $20 bottle of wine in my office every day with the exception of subparagraph 3 of rule 25(1)(3), I could do that. And we get to the personal thing. What controls here the language says gifts having a value of less than $20. I assume that is $20 or less, is it not? Do I have to limit the gifts to $19.99?
