On the recordFebruary 16, 1995

I understand. This is the basis of what we are talking about. Of course, the Senator says leave it as it is. Others say we need to change it. That is what it is, whether we change or whether we do not. Many people think that there needs to be a change. Many people think the performance is such that there needs to be a change. And I respect greatly the Senator's wisdom and knowledge. But that is the issue. And the Senator does not want it changed. I understand that. Others do. That is what it is all about.
