On the recordJanuary 31, 1995
the amendment says at the end of section 101(a)(1), before that semicolon, insert, which would be after the following: ``Investigate and review the role of unfunded Federal mandates in intergovernmental relations and their impact on State, local, tribal, and Federal Government objectives and responsibilities and their impact on the competitive balance between State, local, and tribal governments and the private sector.'' The Traficant amendment is very clear. It would clarify an intent of Congress and a concern of Congress by adding the following words: ``And consider views of and the impact on working men and working women on those same matters.'' That is the amendment in a nutshell. It would not have been germane for me to offer it to that Commission, but as a perfecting amendment to the gentleman from New Mexico's amendment, I believe it will clarify the intent of Congress more than anything else in legislative history.
