William L. Clay: “We, of course, do not intend to oppose the amendment. We will accept it. But I think we ought to point out that this…”

On the recordSeptember 10, 1998
We, of course, do not intend to oppose the amendment. We will accept it. But I think we ought to point out that this shows the deficiency in this bill when we try to correct it piecemeal, in a piecemeal fashion. So that is why we are opposed to the bill. There are too many deficiencies in this bill that my colleagues are not correcting on that side in the piecemeal fashion. But we will accept this. We have no objection to this amendment.
