On the recordNovember 11, 2003
The chairman is correct on that. I concur with our chairman. This problem is not the one we have run into recently as much as it is a problem of a very great difference between the Senate provision, which the Senator from New Jersey helped to author, and that of the House. His amendment was a very important amendment and put us on the right track. But we ran dead on to the House provisions. In this case it was the House provisions versus the Senate provisions, rather than additional provisions in conference which were the problem.
