Political Quotes

“There will be an amendment which will do precisely that, because of the concerns the Senator from Delaware and others raised. These are legitimate concerns which a whole host of people who are deeply involved in this issue have raised as to whether or not there is any--where there is a conflict, if there is one, between the provisions of this bill and an underlying law, what governs. We have been assured over and over again there is no supermandate, there is no intent to have any superimposition or any undoing of existing law. But the language is not clear enough. So there will be an amendment to add the suspenders to the belt in that area, or the belt to the suspenders in that area, just as the Senator from Delaware has suggested. And I hope--I do not predict--but I hope there will be unanimous support for that amendment when it reaches the floor.”
