On the recordFebruary 1, 1996

The reason competition is so important--and the Senator has talked about it--is that we have seen the result in long distance. We have 500 companies in long distance competing aggressively in this country, and prices have dropped 60 percent. That is good for this country. We want to make sure the companies competing in those circumstances do not face unfair competition. That is why we were so concerned about the Justice role. I appreciate the work the Senator did to restore the role of the Justice Department in conference.
