On the recordJanuary 12, 1995
If the leader will yield, I have no objection if the Senator wants to move to table them all. I am not here fighting this bill or supporting it. Before we vote up or down on an amendment, I want to know what we are voting on. If the distinguished majority leader wants to table them, fine. There will have to be action by the Senate to put them back in at some point. I say to the distinguished majority leader, I am not playing any games.
