Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate
very much the gentleman’s statement
because it makes a very good point
about fairness.
2002 Ron Paul 95:3
Prior to the writing of the rule, I did
make some requests about getting
some time because as a Republican, I
have strong constitutional reservations
about what we are doing, and I think
they are worthwhile hearing. That was
turned down. It was not written into
the rule; and of course the amendment
that I offered that may have offered an
opportunity for me to make these constitutional
points, that also was declined.
But I have been informed today
that I would be allowed 3 minutes to
make the case for the Constitution.
2002 Ron Paul 95:4
I appreciate very much the gentleman
bringing this up, and I hope our
leadership will reconsider and allow
Republicans on this side to have a fair
share of the time, as the Democrats are
doing.
