On the recordMarch 19, 2003
I am pleased to rise to oppose this legislation for a variety of reasons. First of all, Congress should not discriminate against bankruptcy cases. Virtually all of our laws allow cases to be filed either where the company is headquartered, where their assets are, or where it is incorporated. Why would we want to single out bankruptcy cases for discriminatory treatment? A second point...is that in 1973 Congress voted to restrict options for where bankruptcies could be filed. It was such a failure that Congress repealed the change in 1978. Why would we want to repeal that mistake?
