Mark Neumann: “In the full committee, our biggest problem that we had after we left full committee and entered into further discussions…”

On the recordJuly 16, 1997
In the full committee, our biggest problem that we had after we left full committee and entered into further discussions on it, if reconciliation passes and contains these provisions, I do not think there is anyone that has a problem in conference with eliminating this if it is already done in reconciliation at that point. But the problem we had is that, if it was not in either the House bill or the Senate bill and reconciliation failed, then the question would come up as to whether or not it would be appropriate in the conference committee to add something that was in neither the House version nor the Senate version. That is the reason we brought it here to the floor. Again I express my respect and support for the ranking minority member of this committee.
