If the Senate had not been tangled up in partisan squabbling at the end of the 103d Congress. unfunded mandates restraints would have now been the law of the land. I deeply regret that S. 993 was not enacted. And today It was actually voted down. S. 1 has many problems which I and others have tried to resolve. This bill creates a potential for endless delay. gives enormous power to unelected bureaucrats. contains troubling ambiguities that will mar its Implementation. and utterly fails to address the biggest unfunded mandate of them all. illegal immigration. But because I believe in the need to pass unfunded mandates constraints. I offered several amendments to S. 1 to make it a better bill.
