Angie Craig: “I only say to the junior Senator from New Mexico that his language was not at issue because it was not the document that…”

On the recordMarch 21, 1996
I only say to the junior Senator from New Mexico that his language was not at issue because it was not the document that makes it to the floor of the Senate coming out of the committee for the one area of the committee of jurisdiction that I was responsible for. All I say is I believe there is a difference. I believe there is an opportunity to interpret. I think it ought to be closed, and the way that can be closed is for the Senator to accept the language in section 124 of the language of the senior Senator from New Mexico. If the Senator will do that, I then have no argument.
