James Moran: “Mr. Chairman, in addition to having an opportunity to pass an amendment that I thought should have been passed back in…”

On the recordMay 13, 1998
Mr. Chairman, in addition to having an opportunity to pass an amendment that I thought should have been passed back in January of 1995, that I had offered then, I think probably it helps in a Republican Congress to have a Republican offeree, and I trust that this bill will pass, although I suspect that there will be more opposition to it than is present here tonight. This is also an opportunity to correct a technical problem that we have encountered with the Congressional Budget Office's scoring of State and local mandates. That is why I urge everyone to support the Davis-Moran amendment.
