Dirk Kempthorne: “That is correct, Mr. President. We are certainly supportive of accepting this amendment and would state that I agree…”

On the recordJanuary 19, 1995
That is correct, Mr. President. We are certainly supportive of accepting this amendment and would state that I agree with the Senator, that there was no intention to leave out these classes. In fact, we had discussed that they would be included in the managers' amendment. I think this is very appropriate to proceed with this amendment as proposed by Senator Levin. I would point out also when we think about the pace, that the language that we have in S. 1 dealing with this is the identical language that was in Senate bill 993 last year that went through committees in both the Senate and the House. This was not addressed. Again, it was not done intentionally. This is appropriate to correct it. We appreciate the Senator from Michigan.
