HAMDT 846 (102nd)

Amendment sought to: change antitrust laws to allow for joint production ventures; change product liability laws; provide for the review of non-intended social effects of new Federal regulations; and enable taxpayers to designate up to 10% of their federal tax liability to be spent on deficit reduction and mandate automatic commensurate across-the-board spending reductions, excluding Social Security, Federal deposit insurance, and interest on the debt. \ A point of order was sustained against the amendment on the grounds that it proposed to amend several provisions of existing law not amended by the bill reported by the Committee on Science and Technology, and thus was not germane to the bill.
