“Again, this is one of these situations like we saw yesterday and day before yesterday where I am not sure the other side has read the provisions of its own bill. Mr. Canady represents to my colleagues here that under one part of this, the 30-day provision, no order needs to be in effect. But I do not know where he is getting that from if he has read the provisions of his bill. It says, beginning on the 30th day after such motion is made in the case of a motion made under subsection B. Subsection B of this bill, an order is already in effect by a court because subsection B deals with termination of relief, relief that has already been ordered by the court. So on that point, I think he is just absolutely wrong in his reading of his own bill. Second, I would simply ask the gentleman whether he knows of any other situations, legal situations in this country, in which, where an order is in effect by the court, and somebody is trying to get from under that order, and they file a motion with the court to terminate it, a disposition of that motion is made in one way or another without the court having acted on it?”
