On the recordJune 23, 2000
I am not a big fan of curtailing time, and I am also not a big fan of a process which starts off with letting everybody speak under the 5-minute rule and then stopping people at the end of the bill from speaking more than they are allowed to. I think it is wrong, and I think it makes it worse if people, on a point of order, are cut off immediately so that they have to find unique ways of speaking on an issue that they should have spoken on when the amendment was on the floor.
