If the State of Florida. and other States which might be similarly affected. is to be dealt with. it has to be dealt with by a political judgment. not by a judicial remedy. What distresses me is after having spent weeks shaping the bill which was intended to provide that type of structured legal response by the Federal Government when such impositions are placed by Federal action on a particular community or State. we now. in a bill which is going to be subject to 20 hours of debatehere it is after 10:30 at nightwe are about to substantially rewrite. discard the fundamental policy premise of our previous actions and almost quadruple the amount of the unfunded mandate we are going to impose on affected States.

What are some of those decisions we are about to make? In the previous bill. we used the concept of deeming.
