On the recordSeptember 15, 1997
As manager of the bill, I say to my colleague from North Carolina, I asked both the previous two Senators who spoke, and Senator Hutchison who preceded them, not to introduce their block grant amendments because it seemed to me most logical that the proposal of the Senator from North Carolina, which would effectively reflect the House position of abolishing an appropriation for the National Endowment for the Arts, logically ought to go first. So I believe the answer to the Senator's question is a committee amendment is the business and the amendment that the Senator from North Carolina proposes, I think, would be in order.
