Joseph R. Bidden, Jr., chairman of the committee, presiding. Also present: Senators Kennedy, DeConcini, Simon, Kohl, Feinstein, Moseley-Braun, Hatch, Thurmond, Simpson, Grassley, Specter, and Brown. Opening Statement of Chairman Joseph R. Biden, Jr., A U.S. Senator from the State of Delaware The Chairman. The hearing will come to order. Let me begin by thanking the distinguished chairman of the Finance Committee for granting us his leave to use his committee room and, by way of very brief explanation, apologize to my colleagues and the press for the last-minute change in the schedule. I was aware that tomorrow is a Jewish holiday. I was not aware that the conditions upon which we usually operate were not satisfactory to some of our Jewish colleagues, which is that the holiday begins at sundown, and one of our colleagues, Senator Specter, came to me yesterday and asked that although that had been the practice to finish Senate business by sundown, that that created a hardship on some members of the Jewish faith who wished to attend the hearing and wished to participate in the hearing, and asked whether or not I would be willing to move the hearing up to accommodate that concern and that need. I realized it caused great inconvenience to Members of the House and the Senate, as well as the members of the press, whom I must apologize to by suggesting that they did not get much notice on the change in the time. I nonetheless chose to do that to err on the side of honoring what seemed to be a legitimate request on the part of the Senator from Pennsylvania. So I appreciate very much allowing the change. We have a very distinguished panel of introducers whom I will introduce in just a second after I make a brief formal opening statement.
