On the recordOctober 4, 2001
Mr. Chairman, in Texas, cockfighting is illegal, and several law enforcement organizations say that prohibiting transport to other States will help them crack down on illegal operations. That is our law. I would like to ask a question of the authors of this amendment, though. In a situation in which it is legal within a State to have cockfighting, under this amendment, if it should pass, would it prohibit a raiser of fighting chickens in a State in which it is legal to ship to a foreign country in which it is also legal?

that is not the intent of this amendment. It is not to get into taxes or spending. It is just to say to this body, we have to make a decision regarding how much more we borrow on our children and grandchildren.
