Mark Takano: “We believe in those instances where there has been an arrest and there is a pending trial, so the arrest shows up on…”

“We believe in those instances where there has been an arrest and there is a pending trial, so the arrest shows up on their record and there is a pending trial, we think it is a very small number of cases. I do agree with the gentleman from North Carolina that is something we should address, and I would be more than happy to work with him on final language if this should gain legs. I believe we can cure that particular instance. Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Chairman, I would say I think the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) has offered a thoughtful amendment. We don't want any unjust actions taken against somebody because they are accused of something at one period of time or made a mistake and the courts found that that was not, in fact, something illegal. So I think he has the right intent. I think the gentleman's inclination is right. I would be happy to work with him on a standalone measure to achieve something similar, but I appreciate that. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
