On the recordJune 25, 1996
I am concerned that these issues have been addressed in report language without the opportunity for hearings on the matters involved and involving matters upon which there is substantial disagreement between Members. They are an attempt to revise the history of this body to deal with an important substantive issue involving civil rights that are critical to all of our citizens. These issues involve matters which have traditionally been outside the purview of this committee and more properly dealt with in legislation other than appropriation legislation. They deserve the careful debate and consideration that this body has provided to such issues in the past.
