On the recordMarch 9, 1995

This is not about the Contract With America. This is not about whose side one is on. I would say to the Senator from Wisconsin, what this is about is the ability of the President, by an Executive order, to change the labor law of the land which has existed for 60 years. The debate on whether to have a permanent replacement of workers can come at a different time. I am sure it will. It has through the past two Congresses. But that is what troubles me.
