Political Quotes

“this modification consists of seven components. The changes to the original bill have been discussed on both sides of the aisle, and it is my understanding there is agreement to accept this modifying language. However, for Members who are not familiar with the contents of the modification, I will briefly make comments on each item contained in the modification. Item No. 1: There are a series of technical corrections that have been provided by Senate legislative council. This changes have been made to make the bill consistent with current dates, legislative language, and other technical matters. These changes, as I understand, have been reviewed by both sides and are acceptable. Item No. 2: The backings of mirrors have been traditionally constructed by using lead as an inhibitor against corrosion and deterioration of the product. The bill, in its initial language, placed these products on a list of products to be banned in commerce 5 years after enactment of this legislation. The mirrors industry had agreed with this language because they had discovered what they thought was an adequate substitute for an adhesive. Unfortunately, this substitute was used and subsequently broke down, leaving the mirrors manufacturing industry with no alternative but to ask us to revisit this issue.”
