Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 24, 1996
the debate here has demonstrated what I just said. This is too complicated for us to deal with in an appropriations bill times 10. We have biotechnology involved, doctors' rights, medicine, and technical advice in every aspect. The gentleman from Iowa has succeeded, I think, in big measure here by bringing this matter to our attention. The chairman of the authorizing subcommittee says, ``Don't pass this on an appropriations bill; give us a chance to have our hearings, which we are doing.'' I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment.
