On the recordJuly 12, 1995
I am very excited about what the gentleman is saying. It is correct that on a bipartisan basis we are working to deal with the remaining technical issues. It is the first time that I have heard that the lockbox would be retroactive. That is excellent. Retroactivity can deal with the issue I have raised today and the gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr. Brewster] and I have raised day after day in appearing before the Rules Committee. We are concerned that $130 million plus $800 million might escape the lockbox, and what the gentleman has just said about retroactivity is extremely reassuring.
