Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
several things the gentleman said made some sense to me, but then I thought I heard the gentleman say some members of the majority might want to offer the gentleman's amendment. That one seemed a little disturbing. The gentleman from Missouri has been working on this amendment. The gentleman is saying that some members of the majority have plans to sort of show the respect for intellectual property rights of the Chinese Government and steal the gentleman's amendment. To just arbitrarily say that we cannot amend the gentleman's amendment or substitute for it or do something else with it, we just cannot agree to that.
