“let me just note that the section of the bill that the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) read and said, my gosh, we need to look at this more, and why just foist it on us, the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), that portion of the bill has not been changed and has been available for 3 or 4 months now. This is not something that somebody is moving through, trying to slide through the system. The gentlewoman is complaining about the section of the bill dealing with the 18-month publication. That has not changed. The gentlewoman has had that in her possession ever since it went through committee a couple months ago. Let me make one or two more points. We have in the last few days, most of what has been talked about, the gentlewoman did not get this 100-something page bill and never had a chance to read it. Most of that bill is exactly the same, and the changes that have taken place are small changes that were done in order, as the gentleman from North Carolina (Chairman Coble) said, to accommodate the very people that we have been trying to protect. Those changes are not so dramatic that it takes very long to digest them. It is not a 118 page bill that is shoved in your lap that is totally new. Almost all of that has been in your possession all of this time.”
