On the recordJuly 17, 1996
my concern, beyond the procedural elements that have been referred to here just a moment ago, is the perceived effect of the amendment as I have read it. Although I understand the author's intention is to only limit the appropriation of funds from a particular area by Treasury to the Comptroller with regard to prohibition of new activities in insurance, the construction of the amendment, as I view it today, is to prohibit any new product, regardless of insurance or other wise, if it were not otherwise permitted by July 16 of this year. That was the reason for the unanimous consent request to modify.
