Lloyd Doggett: “The section that is being deleted by the Cox amendment requires the foreign manufacturer to appoint an agent for service…”

On the recordMarch 9, 1995
The section that is being deleted by the Cox amendment requires the foreign manufacturer to appoint an agent for service or process. The prior amendment of the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Conyers] did not touch that issue at all. So what this is doing is something very inconsistent with the spirit of the Conyers amendment, but if this amendment should pass, contrary to the author's representations, it would do great damage just as the gentleman has suggested.
