Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I was asked several questions and really did not get a chance to respond to them, but I will go ahead and respond to them now. I was asked are you aware you already have this identical language in section 1715? First, I would make the point if the language really were there, then the gentleman, of course, would have no objection to this amendment, which he obviously does, so that is a little bit of a supercilious argument. Second, having looked directly at section 1715, I can say that language is not there. There is language talking about on the front end providing notice to members of the class as to a perspective amount of payment. My amendment deals with the actual payment that the attorney has received after there has been a judgment or a settlement. So it is distinctly different and is worthy of support. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
