I would like to concur in what the gentleman is saying. I have some other language. The court found that ``The declaration Mr. Magaziner made was false.'' It was, ``The most outrageous conduct by the government in this case is what happened when it never corrected or updated the Magaziner declaration.'' I mean it was wrong. He did say, however, that the government did take action that amounted to what the court referred to as a total capitulation. So I do not think that is an issue with which we would debate with the gentleman. Magaziner either lied, misrepresented, or did not know what he was talking about. I would further go on to say I have not much faith in the gentleman's ability to get anything straight. So whether he made it up or whether he was just wrong, it is the same old Ira Magaziner. No quarrel from me. I do not feel that way, I might add for the record, about Mrs. Clinton, with whom I worked closely, as well as Mr. Magaziner, during all of that.

The legislation we are considering today is quite possibly the moral low-point of this House Republican Majority. Not only does it negate a law that was agreed to just last year to cut the deficit, it makes unconscionable cuts to safety…
