On the recordSeptember 6, 1995
Mr. Speaker, the gift ban issue is a very serious issue. It certainly demands and deserves a great deal of debate. To put anything of this consequence, which consists of 51 pages of legislation into the confines of a very limited debate during this conference report would be an absolute mistake. It ought to stand on its own; it ought to be debated on its own. It certainly should not be put on as a rider to a conference report that has 1 hour of debate on the rule and 1 hour of debate on the report itself. It is an issue of such great consequence that it ought to have much more than that. So I would strongly urge the Members to not vote to allow this to go onto this conference report without the opportunity to have extensive debate and extensive review.
