On the recordJanuary 17, 1995
Mr. Speaker, we began this process on January 4 and we moved the legislation to the Senate. We are considering today, on January 17, Senate bill 2, the Senate version of this legislation. There will be no conference committee. This legislation will move directly to the President. The President has said that he will sign it into law. This process has taken 2 weeks. For people to fully understand the impact or maybe I should say the weight of today's decision, this is simply the text of the laws, without any annotation or explanation, that are now going to be applied to the Congress that are already applied to the private sector. I would tell my colleagues that S. 2 passed in the Senate 89 to 1. I believe the House should do the Senate one better. I would ask that the House pass S. 2.
