On the recordApril 4, 1995
No, except I think we have debated this so many times over the years. Mr. Chairman, I respect the opinions of my good colleague from the adjoining district, to the west of me, Mr. Horn, and I respect the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Clinger's opinion. Obviously, it is tearing his heart apart, and I appreciate his putting it in that context. But I think it is about time we just voted on this and saw how this entire Congress feels about this. Right now controversial surveys are an iffy proposition at best. This bill will successfully ensure that these surveys are not allowed. If we go the other way they will flourish, I predict that. Common sense tells us that. I will repeat one thing I said early: Why do they want the information? To act upon it. This is more of the social engineering that I think the American majority rejected on November 8th last.
