On the recordMay 11, 1994
Let me pose my question. As I read your amendment, if I interpret your amendment correctly, in other words, what I am saying, I say to the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker], is that when our people come, it is one-stop shopping for them. They can come here and they find out if there is something available in their area. But as I read your amendment, especially the last sentence, ``shall be exempt from the requirements of this title,'' it means we would basically be doing away with that clearinghouse, as I interpret your amendment.
