“I want to take a minute or so, if I may, to express my feelings about the Sessions amendment. First of all, I am joined in these sentiments by the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Leahy, who opposes the Sessions amendment as well. Let me explain why I oppose this amendment. I say this respectfully of Senator Sessions, who is a good friend. I noticed in his remarks he did not cite any bankruptcy lawyers opposed to the provisions in the bill. I am not terribly shocked that bankruptcy lawyers would be opposed to a provision in the bill short of bankruptcy, although the presumption is bankruptcy in titles I and II.”
