The House bill is silent on an issue which has preoccupied the other body: The repeal of the prohibition against the FTC bringing enforcement actions against local governments. the socalled taxicab rider. The Senate bill contains a repealer. We could have gone to conference on these differences. There has been time to do so. and possibly there is yet timewitness the immigration bill conferees who are back in session this afternoon. But in lieu of that we are asked to pass an amendment to the Senate amendment which concedes everything to the other body on the retroactivity issue. And it is silent on the repeal of the taxicab rider. which. considering the time constraints. could doom the bill in the other body.
