Patricia Schroeder: “The gentlewoman does accurately quote from the DSG report and for whatever reason, and it may emanate from my office…”

On the recordMarch 6, 1995
The gentlewoman does accurately quote from the DSG report and for whatever reason, and it may emanate from my office, the DSG report is inaccurate. The language of my amendment is an alternative but not in replacement of the language offered by the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Goodlatte]. Mr. Goodlatte's language would normally apply up to within 10 days of trial. My language which does not touch his would come into play at a much earlier stage in the process where the purpose really is to screen the most egregious cases before extensive legal fees and discovery costs are incurred.
