“Mr. Speaker, it is obvious we disagree on this. But for someone to stand up in this body and argue that because of what we are going to do here today, it would encumber the Senate and ultimately would mean that this bill could not be passed, I simply disagree with that. The Senate, the other body, has an opportunity to debate this issue, to bring forth their bill, and then for the conference committee, not the other body to feel like they have been put upon, but for the conference committee to be the body to determine what the final outcome will be. That is what the process should be. I am proud of what this bill stands for, and I think we are doing the right thing.”
