Don Nickles: “I want to come back to the fundamental issue of the look-back provision. Mr. President, I didn't invent the look-back…”

On the recordMay 21, 1998
I want to come back to the fundamental issue of the look-back provision. Mr. President, I didn't invent the look-back provision. It wasn't my idea. I have very talented staff and advisers and friends. The look-back provision came from the agreement that was entered into by the attorneys general of the 40 States and the industry. Have they changed? Yes, the look-back provisions have changed. Should they be changed back? Should I support the Durbin amendment? No, because I think it makes it worse.
