I certainly would not endorse and extend the attacks on the Catholic Church or any other church, whether the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran) wishes to do so is his free speech right. I fear that he has added fuel to the fire rather than trying to suppress it. In response to the gentlewoman from the District (Ms. Norton), I said clearly, and I will repeat it, the mayor said in writing to me that he intends to do the pocket veto of the bill, and I believe him. That does not change the fact that it has not been vetoed; it remains a live issue where people expect this Congress to do something. It is a live issue until such time as the veto has indeed occurred.
