This is a state problem that warrants a state and not a Federal solution.

I am always nervous about the slippery slope in a variety of areas.

I want to go to this distinction that Congressman Hinchey is talking about where the difference in--kind of the example that the general brought up in his testimony...

For anybody to say that we had concentration camps, and therefore equate what we did with what the Germans did, it is historically incorrect and casts a dispersion upon that generation.
