This bill, by vesting the power to withhold or terminate Federal funds, creates a concentration of power of economic coercion unequaled in the history of governments-a power concentration which defies the experience of mankind with the temptation of power to corrupt.

This bill would renounce the safe, proper, and acceptable role for Government as a referee of disputes between the governed.

I love all of you men, but you women even more!
