On the recordMarch 6, 1995
I regret very much that the majority leader came down here and read a statement and then walked off. I got him more time so that he could yield to me so that I could examine the anecdote but he said he would not take the time, and he walked off the floor. What he did was a tried and true method that has been used by the proponents of this amendment. They stand up here, and they talk about an anecdote, and before you can ask them any questions about the anecdote they disappear. The fact of the matter is the gentleman was talking about a very well known, highly publicized lawsuit in Texas in which many children lost their lives, and fortunately, because they were poor children, had very poor parents, using the contingency system they were able to hire the best lawyers in the State of Texas, and they got a big settlement, which is what was supposed to happen.
