Andrea Joy Campbell: “The gentleman's amendment begins, and I am reading, ``Strike section 30.120(b)'', and what the gentleman strikes in that…”

On the recordJune 19, 1998
The gentleman's amendment begins, and I am reading, ``Strike section 30.120(b)'', and what the gentleman strikes in that is exactly what I quoted, the prohibition on coordination. So I really did think the gentleman did not intend this. That is what I prefaced this by. But if the gentleman looks at his amendment, it begins, ``Strike section 30.120(b)'', and section 30.120(b) says we cannot do this if, among other things, it is coordinated.
