Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time, and first let me begin by noting that the case just alluded to by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot), that in the case where a young woman was held coercively, was threatened if she did not go through with an abortion she would not be able to get home, would seem to violate the laws against kidnapping and half a dozen other… Read more »
Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. The gentleman from New York had said that the issue of sexual abuse never came up in the committee hearing. If you look at page 84.
Mr. NADLER. I never said that. I said it did not come up with respect to my amendments.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The gentleman from Georgia controls the time.

Mr. NADLER. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker. What is the basis for the objection to a request for insertion into the RECORD of material?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. It takes unanimous consent to place extraneous material in the RECORD. An objection was heard to such a request; therefore, unanimous consent was not obtained.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time.
Mr. Speaker, this bill is the worst giveaway to special interests, the worst rip-off of the public, of the middle class than I have ever seen in my public life. The people who understand how bankruptcy law functions in the real world, the scholars, judges, trustees and lawyers, whether they represent… Read more »
The House of Representatives today passed S. 256, a sweeping overhaul of the United States bankruptcy code, on a vote of 302-126.
