On the recordNovember 9, 1997
The gentleman from Wisconsin and the chairman of the committee is correct. Just on the Commerce-State-Justice bill it will take 12 or 13 hours of staff time just to read through, to proofread, that one bill. So we need a lot of lead time. We have been trying to pre-read the portions that are more or less agreed to. But even in spite of that, it is going to take that long a period of time, just to read on the one bill.
