“Who say it can be interpreted that way, and when you have a whole bunch of Senators here who say it can be interpreted that way, and when it is the intent now of the Senator from Louisiana and the Senator from Kansas and the Senator from Utah not to have it interpreted that way, because that is what you have said over and over again, why then not accept the language which we have offered during our discussion which says that in case of a conflict, in case of a conflict between the underlying law and this bill, the underlying law governs? That is a very simple question. Why not just simply make it explicit that in the event that there is a conflict between the requirements of this bill and underlying law, the requirements of underlying law govern? That will just eliminate all of these doubts. That is the suspenders and the belt.”
