DEBATE - The House proceeded with one hour of debate on the McDade motion to instruct conferees. The instructions state that if there is a choice between a cleaned-up Desert Storm and dire emergency package that offers substantial assistance to those affected by natural and farming disasters that is likely to be signed into law, and a product containing extraneous and non-emergency items that is likely to be vetoed, resulting in a delay in further consideration of this measure until well into 1992, the conferees should choose the former, in order to get assistance to those in need in the shortest time possible.
