Jasper Packard: “The language, we worked hard to get the appropriate language in this bill. The language simply authorizes the Architect…”

On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
The language, we worked hard to get the appropriate language in this bill. The language simply authorizes the Architect of the Capitol to consummate the sale under the direction of the House Office Building Commission, but it does not create the sale. We do not consummate the sale in the language of this bill. It leaves that judgment yet to the leadership of the House. Frankly, we think it is good language that still leaves the option open whether it is right to sell property or not. We are not selling property in the language in this bill.
