On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
with only 30 seconds left, let me just say in closing that I think the country needs to watch all year every rule, watch the way the game is rigged, and watch the way leadership closes off debate and the way the Democrat leadership closes off debate, and I would appeal to my Democrat colleagues, if you want to show your independence of the machine, if you want to show you are not afraid to face the Gekas amendment, if you want to show you are willing to vote directly in the Committee of the Whole for an amendment to have Congress covered by the bill, vote ``no,'' send it back up to the Rules Committee, and let us bring an honest open rule back that gives us a vote on Gekas and does not masquerade by pretending to give what it takes away with another hand.
