On the recordMarch 14, 1996
I am not going to debate the habeas corpus provisions. The fact of the matter is, as I recall, we already passed that bill on the floor of this House. I disapproved of it, but it is a separate debate, a separate question.

The habeas corpus bill passed in a different bill.
