FT 19.05 Frémont Response to the Mexico City Policy Act (Vetoed)

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I am not in favor of the changes proposed by this legislation, obviously, and I would not sign such a bill. The purpose of PAACCA is to render any decision which a sitting or future president regarding instating the Mexico City Policy moot, and dispel any uncertainty that these global organizations will have the financial support they need to continue their vital work, by stating up front that Frémont will provide whatever Nyman withholds. Making such contingent on a vote of this body introduces uncertainty, and renders the deterrent of the original bill ineffective. I find the suggestion that PAACCA somehow represents a "reverse gag rule" bizarre, and cannot imagine how it could be so construed, unless perhaps you are referring  exclusively to §3. The reverse of a gag is freedom of speech, which I am happy to say PAACCA supports.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Seconded. While I respect the motives of the honorable member from New Mexico, for the reasons previously given, I ask the house to defeat this bill.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Nay!

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I don't really have a good sense of where some members stand on this bill.

It seems they don't either.
