On the recordJune 25, 1998
Members of this Congress should know that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Traficant) led the fight for shifting the burden of proof, and it was because of the gentleman that I put it in the bill in the Committee on Ways and Means. It was not in the Restructuring Commission's recommendations. The gentleman further led the fight to assure that homeowners would not be thrown out of their home without a court order. I put that in the bill as a result of his importuning, because he was right. He deserves a lot of credit for those two provisions in this bill.
