Jerry Nadler: “But what the gentleman is doing goes further. What the gentleman is saying is the cap of 3 times economic damages…”

On the recordMarch 9, 1995
But what the gentleman is doing goes further. What the gentleman is saying is the cap of 3 times economic damages $250,000, and we are going to deny part that have to the victim. If you want to say we should not have any cap at all, then it makes sense to say to the victim he should not unjustly enrich himself to any extent. I urge defeat of the amendment.
