Lindsey Graham: “It was our intention to maintain the amendment in all respects, other than adding the language that begins on page 2 at…”

On the recordOctober 8, 2002
It was our intention to maintain the amendment in all respects, other than adding the language that begins on page 2 at line 23 and runs through page 3 at line 4. That was our sole intent in offering the amendment in the form that we have done so. If there had been negotiations of which we were unaware that altered the underlying amendment, at the appropriate time it would be my intention to offer an amendment to make it conform to the proposal that adds what yourself and others have currently agreed to.
