On the recordOctober 4, 2001
I do not oppose in concept what the gentleman is trying to do, but I do have some concerns with some of the language that is in the bill and some of the impacts nationwide of his amendment. I would like to ask the gentleman if he would be willing to make this a pilot program to work on the language and withdraw his amendment. If he is willing to do that, I would do everything in my power to rewrite the amendment and to work with the gentleman and to try to get this included in the final bill in conference.
