On the recordNovember 15, 2007
Although it has been many years, I had a short and unillustrious career as an attorney; so I'm somewhat familiar with the term ``knowingly'' as a legal term of art. I am less familiar with the phrase ``with actual knowledge.'' Hearing the gentleman from North Carolina's explanation, I think we are trying to get at the very same situation. So the only thing that made me somewhat nervous is I am unacquainted with the phrase as a legal term of art. I do believe that the gentleman and myself are trying to achieve the same thing. Perhaps it's innocuous.
