On the recordSeptember 25, 1997
This is new law. This is a new procedure. We are trying to respond to the criticisms that LSC has had in the past that they did not have the authority nor the interest in debarring and taking away the contract of a grantee that violates the House-passed laws. So this is new. It does have teeth. It can be enforced and should be enforced, and we are going to insist that it be enforced. So I think that is of interest to everybody, particularly those who have been critical of LSC for not disciplining their own grantees, and debarring from further LSC activities a grantee who violates the House- passed rules. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
