Charles Norwood: “I actually did not know who to come to talk to because we did not know…”

On the recordMay 18, 2005

I actually did not know who to come to talk to because we did not know who would be leading against this amendment. If I may, it is a very, very simple drafting error in the bill on line 7 where we are saying that law enforcement personnel of a State or political subdivision of a State are fully authorized to apprehend and detain. Then it goes on to say ``or remove.'' ``Or remove'' should not have been in there. And so we are just asking unanimous consent at this point to take that out and it will help the bill, and we are going to get it out somewhere anyway.
