I hope he realizes I am proceeding in good faith. I am trying to make the point that we should go back to the 1993 law that said that although Medicaid funding could not be used, no Federal funding could be used for abortion, that the District would have the ability to decide what they wanted to do with their local funds without being dictated to. In fact, we now change the law and we tell them they may not use their own funds. I am very happy to agree to any time agreement that the Senator feels is reasonable, but I would like to at least get an agreement that there not be any second-degree amendments.
