On the recordJuly 23, 2002
Obviously I cannot read the minds of all of our colleagues, but I do know that the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay), Senator Helms and I were the only three members actively involved in negotiating the language of sections 2004, 2006 and 2011 with the administration. I have accurately described our understanding of how these sections would work together, what our intention was, and what we understood the administration's understanding and intention to be. I suppose that someone else could try to project onto these sections a different intention, but they would be doing precisely that, projecting onto them a new meaning that was never intended by those of us who were involved in drafting and refining them.
