“this is bad procedure to adopt bad tax policy. I want to get parochial and address my fellow southern Californians. This bill shafts southern California. Take a look at Roll Call. "Studios Take a Hit in the Tax Bill." The article explains how America's number-one exporter, how the underpinning of our southern California economy, gets shafted in this bill. It quotes Mr. Foley by saying, "I am sure it is not entirely based on the fact that the motion picture industry hired Dan Glickman." Well, it is substantially based on that. The article goes on to say that the bill neglects our number-one exporter, even though it is supposed to be an export-promotion bill, because of the hiring of Glickman. It quotes a lobbyist as saying, "No Republican will fight for the movie industry." My fellow southern Californians, prove them wrong. Vote against the martial law rule, vote against the rule and vote against the bill. This is not just a shafting of southern California; it is the entry of corruption into the congressional process. It is a corrupt shafting of southern California.”
