“Mr. Speaker, today and at this time is a time we have designated for technical corrections. This is a procedure that was instituted by the Republican leadership when we assumed majority control of the Congress, and it is an effort to try to expedite legislation technical in nature but necessary for the conduct of business both for the Congress and in the operation of our Federal Government, and that is the purpose of our proceedings here this morning. Today we take up a bill in rapid order. It has moved through our Subcommittee on Civil Service and through the full Committee on Government Reform and Oversight to the floor today in rapid time and was introduced by the distinguished gentleman from Georgia. And let me say, Mr. Speaker, that this bill, H.R. 1316, addresses an inequity in the Federal Government Employees Group Life Insurance program.”
