On the recordFebruary 3, 1995

I know that Members on both sides are sincere about making this a family-friendly Congress, and we have a bipartisan group that is meeting to try to see if we can reach solutions in that area. A couple of times in the last 2 weeks we have thought that we were going to leave by a certain time in the evening, and then it ran well past that. But do you believe that it might be useful to perhaps reconvene the family-friendly task force with you and myself to see if we can find some solutions to this? Members tell their families they are going to be home by a certain time, are able to meet them at a certain time, and they are not able to do that, and it is causing a good deal of difficulty.
