On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
The difficulty is--I have not spoken directly with the Senator from Oregon, but he has sent to me his concerns as chairman of the Appropriations Committee that what this does is it pulls out of some bills, as the leader said, provisions that may disturb really the synergy of the whole bills when we come back and try to get them finally adopted and sent to the President. So he does really express great reservation to the procedure that is being used. So he wants me to indicate that the Appropriations Committee on this side will not pursue this procedure again.
