On the recordJune 18, 1998
Mr. Chairman, we do not put nonseverability because those of us that voted for that tax cut believed each one of those cuts stood on their own merit, had a merit of their own. For those of us that are asking for support for the nonseverability, we are saying that if Members believe that balance is important, and this is a balanced product and that if two or three points of it would be struck down by the courts and the rest of it would create an imbalance, severability would be important.
