On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
Mr. Speaker, just in trying to reconcile the text of this 60-plus pages with the summary, I notice that, for instance, on page 18-E of the bill, we address the question of a partial repeal of a provision recently enacted in the Lobbying Reform Act that is not mentioned in the summary. I am just wondering if the chairman would indicate whether there are any other changes in permanent law similar to this one, which I happen to be familiar with, which are included in the bill but not itemized in the summary, so that Members can be fully informed of permanent law changes?
