On the recordMay 17, 2000
I hope the chairman of the Committee on Rules understands my concern for the military retirees, that it is a major problem. They were told when they joined if you stay with us 20 years, we will take care of your health care for life. And I think that there should be some assurance that we would be able to at least debate the issue on a proper amendment, and that is why I said what I did a few moments ago. I really do not have a great deal of problem with this part of the rule; however, I cannot in my own mind bifurcate the two parts of the two rules, and that is why I said what I did. I would certainly hope that the Taylor amendment would be made in order in the second go-around.
