On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
I just want to correct one statement made by my good friend from Louisiana. The Labor-HHS bill in the Senate has not been subject to a filibuster. In fact, it has never been brought up on the floor. It has never been debated on the floor. There were numerous unanimous-consent requests made to bring that bill up, which were objected to by Members of both parties. The real reason it has taken so long to move that bill is because that bill was so extreme in nature when it left the House that Members of both parties in the other body were so embarrassed by it they did not want to touch it with a 10-foot pole.
