Trent Lott: “Similarly, I know that Senator Bond has concerns with the language…”

On the recordMay 17, 2005

Similarly, I know that Senator Bond has concerns with the language proposed by Senator Pryor that defines who ``household goods carriers'' are, and therefore who is subject to the new consumer regulations we've proposed. In particular, the Senator is concerned that this definition could impact traditional moving companies' entry into new markets, such as the ``u-pack'' and ``pod'' moving and storage services being offered today which might not be covered by this definition. We understand these concerns and will continue to work with Senator Bond to ensure that we craft a fair and workable definition of a ``household goods carrier'' through the conference process.

You've got to do that every now and then. Even though you might get your little flak from some of the people within your conference. It's called leadership.
