On the recordJanuary 17, 1995
I do not mean for the Senator to address that particular aspect of it. That was not my point. I do not expect this bill to address that aspect of it. But Mrs. Boxer and others are obviously very concerned with respect to the unfunded mandate or mandates that are being placed upon the States to deal with this problem. My question goes to that aspect, not to dealing with a solution to the overall problem.
