On the recordMay 6, 1998
Mr. Chairman, in conclusion this side, in efforts to strike this language in the bill, we are for the students' right to know. We just think that the universities should do it in a voluntary fashion, not from a mandate from the Federal Government in Washington, D.C. If we were to bring a small business bill to the floor and have a provision in that bill saying that every small business in the country has to let us in the Federal Government know 4 years in advance if they are going to lay anybody off, that would be voted down. Vote down this provision. Do not put a half nelson of regulations on every university in the country. Vote for the Roemer-Riggs amendment.

It is a crescendo type activity that is causing the CIA director to have, so to speak, his hair on fire. Why aren't we seeing a commensurate reaction out of FBI and Justice to try to meet this threat?
