On the recordJuly 10, 1995
Is the amendment going to be modified so as to prevent an appeal on how a regulatory flexibility analysis has been conducted if there were an interlocutory appeal on the question of whether a regulatory flexibility analysis should be done? Will the modified amendment be precluding an appeal on how that regulatory flexibility analysis has been conducted at the end of the rulemaking process? Because that would be taking away from small business something that it now has, for instance, with small units of government. I do not know if that is the intent. I think it should be clear. But the double appeal point that I was making, I think, is slightly different from the double appeal point which has been made previously, which is that the interlocutory appeal that is provided here goes to the question of whether or not there should be a regulatory flexibility analysis, and that presumably there still would be an appeal at end of the process on the question of how that analysis had been conducted, assuming one is ordered. So that is still a double appeal.

Gaza must be rebuilt, and aid to its residents must flow unimpeded. Palestinians deserve to live free from bombardment, displacement, and blockade.
