Rob Portman: “it will not come as a surprise that I rise again to oppose yet another amendment excluding whole areas of the law from…”

On the recordJanuary 30, 1995
it will not come as a surprise that I rise again to oppose yet another amendment excluding whole areas of the law from the very reasonable cost analysis provided in the legislation, H.R. 5. It might be of interest to know this is the eighth amendment to section 4 relating to health, the fifth amendment relating to safety, and the seventh amendment relating to child welfare. The reason these amendments went down, they were all voted down with solid bipartisan votes, the last one was 277 to 155, is that the bill before us in no way precludes Congress from acting responsibly in these areas to protect the very important national interests that are the subject of these amendments.

If he couldn`t do, we will because all we`re talking about is the status quo and frankly it`s a legislative function.
