Rob Portman: “that is far more extensive than anything in title II to this legislation. Let us be clear. Anything in this regulation…”

“that is far more extensive than anything in title II to this legislation. Let us be clear. Anything in this regulation and the database may or may not be covered by this. It has to be over $100 million to be covered by title II, but any regulation that could possibly be covered by title II, which again is far less broad than the executive order, and in fact it is 925 words versus over 6,000 words, would be subject to the existing Executive order. Mr. Chairman, then the question becomes should the database, as an example, if it were in fact covered under either the Executive order or title II, and it is necessarily under the Executive order currently in place, if it is going to be covered by title II, should the agency, in this case the Department of Justice, as I understand it, be required to comply with the Clinton Executive order? Let me ask the gentleman a question. Is the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Kanjorski] saying that the Executive order is not appropriate? This asks for a written statement of the costs and expenses. Is that not appropriate?”
