On the recordMarch 24, 1994
We have used that argument, and I have heard it so many times. I understand why the gentlewoman is using it on her side. This is the crux of the question, shall we allow the distribution of this material in our schools or not? The gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Hancock] believes that we should not, and obviously, the literature that he has cited over here, which is obscene, I think the gentlewoman would agree, the other literature he mentioned which is on the table, that many of us can hardly open, is obscene. Under the gentlewoman's amendment, as I understand it, she is saying that literature could not be distributed?
