On the recordMarch 8, 1995
I would just point out the language in the bill is much improved over the language last year that the gentleman from Texas and I offered. If the language we had in the bill was so good last year, I want to know why we did not get a markup on the bill. This language is much better, much more specific. It is the kind of language that would prevent fishing expeditions. We ought to reject this amendment and pass this good bill.
