“I would like to add to that, every law that we pass here, we pass it because we understand there is a proclivity out there to violate the laws. That is the same with the restrictions we put on Legal Services Corporation. There was a lot of this activity out there before we put these restrictions on. It is reasonable to assume there are going to be some people who are zealots, or for whatever reason, who are going to violate the rules. The gentleman is going to be pleased to know and he does know probably, because I know he is a student of the legislation that comes on the floor, that in this bill we have disbarment as punishment for those grantees who violate the restrictions that we have put on in the past. So we are addressing these concerns, and I know the gentleman would be pleased that we are addressing them, and I hope the fact we are addressing them in good faith and in a serious manner will lead the gentleman to look favorably upon the underlying purposes.”
