On the recordJuly 14, 1998
I oppose the Doolittle amendment. If I thought that the Shays-Meehan language would prohibit a voter guide like this one, I would not support the Shays-Meehan language. But when I read the Shays-Meehan language, it seems to me clear that this type of voter guide is okay; I mean, presents information in an educational manner about a voting record or a position on a campaign of two or more issues, and in terms of this particular item here, it refers to a vote that was made here.
