Orrin Hatch: “this modification expresses the sense of the whole Senate to do what…”

On the recordFebruary 26, 2002

this modification expresses the sense of the whole Senate to do what both Senator Dodd and I are so concerned about. It shows that all 100 Senators agree with Senators Ensign, Burns, Thomas and me that full funding of this act must be guaranteed to states and localities. While this is not the version of the amendment that I would have preferred, I believe that it will assure the supporters of the original amendment that there will be appropriate funding. I urge adoption of the amendment, as modified.
