Rick Lazio: “I am telling the gentleman that I cannot accept that amendment…”

On the recordMay 1, 1997

I am telling the gentleman that I cannot accept that amendment, because I believe that people on the outside are asked to actually do more; that there is flexibility in this bill for people who are caregivers to work close to home. I think there are some in this Chamber who want to gut this entire provision using different means of gutting it. I want to protect this provision. I think this is an important part of the bill. I think people should be asked to contribute to their own community.
