On the recordSeptember 24, 2002

Mr. Speaker, while I initially had some minor problems with H.R. 4919 when it was considered in committee, our colleague, the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Pastor), came and spoke to me. In no uncertain terms he made it clear he would like to see this legislation passed. Therefore, I decided it would be a good idea to move it forward. I would also note that the inclusion by our colleague, the gentleman from California (Mr. Thompson), of his legislation in this legislation is facilitating its consideration on the floor today. The gentleman from California is to be commended for his leadership, and is a very capable and effective representative of his constituents. I salute him for his work on this particular bill.
