On the recordMarch 6, 1995
I would strongly oppose the gentleman's amendment now that I learn that it is in addition to rather than in place of, for the simple reason that as you have constructed it now, first the plaintiff who has no resources and is obviously frightened by the situation in the beginning files a lawsuit, then they first have got to get past the potential of having a judge force them to pay attorneys fees based upon your provision, and if they get past that, then they are faced with at the end of the case having to pay attorneys fees based upon what the Republicans have come up with. It is doubly bad, rather than an improvement, and I would strongly urge Members to vote against this amendment.
