On the recordJanuary 17, 1995
Just in response to that--and I appreciate the idea of consistency--in this particular legislation, it was really many, many hours of working together with the House. I was not privy to what sort of arrangements the Senator had worked out with the House on his amendment last week. One of the things that I think may help us to be consistent is when we see that it deals with the House of Representatives, probably part of our information that we exchange with one another is to state to what extent this really is coming from the House. This was a strong request.
