On the recordSeptember 24, 1997
I simply want to make certain that Members on both sides of the aisle understand that if they are interested in either party's position on the census question and on sampling, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to vote against this rule. The rule provides on a self-executing basis for the insertion of what will be considered the Republican preference on the issue. It also provides a straight opportunity for the gentleman from West Virginia [Mr. Mollohan] to offer an amendment which would in essence allow sampling to go forward, as is the Democratic preference. So, on either side of the aisle there is no reason to oppose this rule. Both sides have been accommodated fully.
