On the recordMarch 9, 1994
I am a little confused now when you mention the Kassebaum amendment because the Kassebaum amendment, as you well know, has to do with airplane manufacturers' liability, a totally unrelated subject. Are you now suggesting that this matter be joined with that issue in a bill? I am not quite clear because I am trying to figure out whether or not we can resolve this issue now. As I understand this bill that is pending, it provides for an 18-month delay in implementation; is that correct?
