On the recordMarch 25, 1998
again reclaiming my time, she was in a dressing room smaller than the bathroom of many Members in the Rayburn Building, and I will guarantee, she will not make as much money as a song writer as any Member in this Chamber today. I wrote down the words, when we are hearing about music machine and Hollywood stars and blah, blah, blah, I mean this sort of rhetoric to make this thing seem, gee, this is going to really help the wealthy people. It is not going to help the wealthy people. They are going to be making the majority of their money on other things, on videos, selling the CDs. This helps the people like Ms. Colvin who is 5 months pregnant, who certainly, if she was wealthy, would be sitting at home watching TV instead of running around trying to make a little bit of money. This helps Ms. Colvin, and this helps other people that are struggling to get by so that they can work, so that they can devote their life to creating artistic works that enhance the quality of life for all of us.
