On the recordMarch 26, 1998
This is the fourth filibuster on this proposal. When this measure came before the Senate last year, we were told that it was a pretty good idea but it needed to go through the process. It has now been through the Finance Committee. It now embraces many ideas from the other side of the aisle, and, of course, its principal cosponsor is from the other side of the aisle, Senator Torricelli of New Jersey. It was reported out with a bipartisan vote 12-8 on February 10, 1998. Provisions have been added to the bill from Senators Moynihan of New York, Graham of Florida, Breaux of Louisiana. Eighty percent of the tax relief embodied in the bill reflects amendments from the other side of the aisle.
