Howard Berman: “Under the theory that inaccurate statements should be refuted as…”

On the recordFebruary 16, 1995

Under the theory that inaccurate statements should be refuted as quickly as possible, I ask everyone to read the waiver section of section 501. There is an automatic deduction unless the President certifies as to chapter 7 only, not chapter 6, operations, that the activity is of such importance to the national security the United States will undertake the activity unilaterally, unilaterally. Not in our strategic interest. Not in our national interest. Unilaterally.
