It states: (A) providing for the development of information about the nature and size of mandates in proposed legislation. and (B) establishing a mechanism to bring such information to the attention of the Senate and the House of Representatives before the Senate and the House of Representatives vote on proposed legislation. (4) to promote informed and deliberate decisions by Congress on the appropriateness of Federal mandates in any particular instance. I believe. I say to the Senator. that if S. 1 were in place right now. this would be the process that would help. for example. the Senator from California in dealing with what may be further Federal mandates where there are costs imposed on the States under that title of immigration. This is a process before we cast our vote. Because. the Senator is well aware of how many times. when we have a 15minute rollcall vote. we will go down there and we may confer with one another during those 15 minutes and we will ask. "Is there a mandate in here?" That is the extent of the knowledge we have today.
