On the recordMarch 19, 2003
Mr. Speaker, we are talking about bankruptcy today again. We have done this four times. This rule will pass because it is a fair rule. The underlying legislation will pass overwhelmingly because it is great legislation that the American people not only asked for but want. It will help streamline and make better the bankruptcy procedures that are necessary as our courts deal with them, and as people who have gotten into financial trouble deal with the old legislation and find out what a problem it is. I am proud to be here today to talk about good legislation that is good for the American public, it is good for consumers, and I am very proud of what we are doing.
