On the recordMarch 11, 1999
I support strongly the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Porter Goss). I am not going to say why I am against the amendment offered by the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Gejdenson) because it would sound partisan, but I want to the gentleman to know that it is not, it is a very deep-seated belief I have, and mistrust. I will support the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York and the gentleman from Florida, and vote against the amendment offered by the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Gejdenson).
