I do not want to continue the debate. I would just point out that the gentleman referred to a request for a hearing of me. I was working as a subcommittee chairman with this jurisdiction in the 101st, and this Congress. Under the rules of the committee--I might say that the request came to me 2 days before we had the hearing on the measure that was before us, the major measure, H.R. 518. I might say, for the sponsors of that bill, I was not able to prepare and to get witnesses to respond to a bill that quickly which was introduced just a couple of days before the hearing, but the members did discuss their bill at the hearing. Whether that was adequate or not, I do not know.
