On the recordJuly 25, 2002
The other is the upper payment limit, which in fact is understood by some of us. And I do not know whether the Senator is aware that the Bush administration, which writes a letter against this--which maybe is not surprising, I don't know, but it is disappointing--has already promulgated a new regulation, which took effect in April, which solves most of the problem about which the Senator is talking. The problem he is taking about is real, but it has no place in this debate. First, the administration has moved to solve it. Secondly, it has no part in this debate. I yield the floor and reserve the remainder of my time.
