On the recordJune 15, 2000
I urge that the joint leadership insist on that regulation. Otherwise, I am going to insist on it. One Senator can insist on it. As I understand from what the Chair has said in his response to my parliamentary inquiry of the Chair, it is the Chair's duty to enforce the regulations. I don't say this with any animus, but I am concerned about how the Senate appears to visitors during roll call votes. Perhaps other Senators may not be quite so concerned, but I am because it seems to be getting worse.
