Kendra S. Horn: “I did not want something that will harm the Nethercutt amendment. That was put on at the desk. I simply want that…”

“I did not want something that will harm the Nethercutt amendment. That was put on at the desk. I simply want that language in the appropriations report at the end of where we have a lot of these things, and it seems to me that is then an instruction to the conferees, whether it be the amendment of the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Nethercutt) or whether it be the amendment of the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Slaughter), that as long as it had the majority of the House it would be funded in conference. In other words, we are asking to waive a lot of things that are blocking decision-making in a rational way. We have had great passion tonight, and everybody is right as far as I am concerned on that, but we have the problem of getting into conference and solving this problem, because we do not have the money at this point. We will have when it is in conference, so that is why I would like the unanimous consent to put that language in there. It does not affect the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Nethercutt) nor the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Slaughter). We assume both will have a majority.”
