Bob Wise: “my concern, I would say to the gentleman from Ohio, is yes, there is…”

On the recordJune 8, 1995

my concern, I would say to the gentleman from Ohio, is yes, there is in the precedent a general application of the word. However, then you get down to the question, and this is what I would propound to the Chair at the appropriate time, you get down to making it more and more specific. In this case several Members on this side of the aisle had risen to make certain statements about Medicare. I think it can be reasonably inferred that the gentleman's remarks went directly to them, not to a body at large, and that is why the apology is sought.
