On the recordJuly 10, 1996
regarding the Dorgan amendment, I would just say that I think we are better off the way things are than to try to develop a rigidity that I think would occur in the amendment offered by the Senator from North Dakota. It requires a committee structure that is very rigid and lacks the flexibility that we were trying to address. I do not believe it in any way answers the concerns and the questions that have been raised by the actions of the NLRB regarding a lack of understanding on how employees get together under the National Labor Relations Act. That was the purpose of the legislation before in the TEAM Act, and I will address my amendment later.
