On the recordApril 23, 1997
Yes, I deny it, Mr. Chairman. I will tell the gentlewoman this, I have been working on this bill. I was originally a cosponsor of Mr. Rohrabacher's bill. We made some changes. I have met with people in biotech. I have met with people in universities, big inventors and small inventors. I have proposed some changes. I did not even read the secret agreement. That agreement may not be a secret from a lot of people, but it was secret from me. So I absolutely deny that in my work on this bill, guided as it has been by conversations with Americans, that I was in fact the hidden puppet of the emperor of Japan.
