On the recordJanuary 20, 1995
We tried in committee to strike out the idea that we would not have judicial review. We have an amendment coming up on that. If we knew that we were going to have a denial of judicial review here and we were not going to make it the Lawyers' Relief Act of 1995, we would be a lot saner and satisfied on this side because we were not going to work havoc on the American regulatory system. Unfortunately, we do not have that assurance that that amendment will pass. We have not had the cooperation with the majority that they will address judicial review, and as I understand it from a simple reading of this statute, if there is a regulatory agency involved charged under this law to put out statements as to the cost factor, regardless of whether they are absolutely and meticulously correct in meeting that standard, anyone can go to court and ask for injunctive relief dealing with that issue.
