On the recordMay 6, 1997
Mr. Chairman, this issue has been fully vented by this House, I would suggest, it has been discussed in committee, in general the concept of community service, and now the gentleman from North Carolina offers this amendment which requires compensation. Let me, if I can, just ask if the gentleman from North Carolina would engage me, if I could just ask some questions about this so I will understand. The amendment, as I understand it, requires compensation. I wonder if the gentleman can tell me who would pay and what would be the mechanism for enforcement.
