Henry Hyde: “I do support the manager's amendment. I think it has tied up a lot of loose ends and makes the entire telecommunications…”

On the recordAugust 4, 1995
I do support the manager's amendment. I think it has tied up a lot of loose ends and makes the entire telecommunications field more competitive. The purpose of the entire legislation was really to enhance competition, because that certainly helps the consumer, facilitates development of all these various industries, and benefits the country and the economy at large. Given the complexity of this legislation, this manager's amendment goes a long way toward resolving that. The Committee on the Judiciary met with the staff of the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Bliley] and resolved many controversies, so I am pleased to support the manager's amendment.
