It is important, for the purpose of the Congressional Record and for the purpose of reenlightening the Members of the House as to the purpose of the mammoth effort that we expended over the last 3 years and more to bring about needed, necessary and cogent bankruptcy reform, to outline the two main theses that apply and on which we banked our experience and our intent to bring about bankruptcy reform. They are worthy of repetition and rerepetition. And every ounce of prevention that we can add to this debate about all those who oppose the concepts that we are employing we repeat and will repeat time and time again. Everyone and anyone who becomes so flooded with and burdened with and overextended by reason of obligations for a variety of reasons, whether it be divorce or drinking or gambling or overextension of credit in its many different forms, whatever the reason might be that someone became hopelessly indebted and found no reason to do anything except to file bankruptcy, that person, who is so overburdened will find at the hands of the bankruptcy system a fresh start. We guarantee that.
