On the recordMay 19, 1998
I just wanted to say to my friend from Florida that we discussed this in the Committee on Ways and Means and it was clear that the staff of the majority discussed this and helped initiate this. Maybe discussed it with the administration. We are waiting for the evidence. But there was not the full discussion with the minority. There was no discussion with us. And maybe this is part of what was described in the Washington Post, an effort by the Republicans to politicize this issue instead of coming together. So I urge we move ahead with this bill but look at the bad provisions in conference.
