“I had one problem with the bill that dealt with something that was offered on the floor by Senator Schumer and me dealing with clinic violence. It went to conference. They stripped it, even though it passed here by an extremely wide margin. The Judiciary Committee put that in yesterday. It is in the bill that will come before the Senate. I am very grateful to Senator Leahy, who worked so hard on this matter, and the entire Judiciary Committee for allowing it to be part of this bill. I believe it is a much better bill with this provision in it. It was not in the bill when it came to the floor out of conference. I voted against it. I am appreciative of what the Judiciary Committee has done in this regard.”
