On the recordJune 4, 1998
I am a little bit confused. The Istook amendment I would like if only the Baptists were protected and we can set the prayer and whatever. But that is not what we are talking about. But the way I understand it, and I hope the gentleman from Florida is listening, he objects to taking out the word ``God'' in this amendment. If you do that, do you exclude the Muslims, do you exclude the Buddhists or what have you, which is not something that is high on my agenda, I do not understand those religions, but if the amendment is to have a freedom of religion, and these are classified as religions, they can only have a prayer that says ``God.''
