On the recordOctober 9, 1997
I would like to state that he is to be commended for the work that he has done, the outstanding efforts and hard work in bringing this bill to the floor, and during that time, for being such a shock absorber for the media criticism that he has received. I have brought to the attention of the chairman and to the D.C. appropriations a bill that would prevent two individuals who are unmarried from adopting a child. This amendment has been included in the House version of the D.C. appropriations bill in the past. I feel that the responsible adoption amendment should be included in the fiscal year 1998 bill.
