this policy is already codified in title 38 of the united states code. however, there's a lack of parity between title 38 and the small business act. i've heard from several small businesses about this issue, including one in my district. this discrepancy creates legal uncertainty and confusion in the application of this important policy. and what we're trying to do is clear it up. to guarantee clarity and certainty for the administration of these service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, these small -- the small business act must conform with the policy prescribed in title 38. h.r. 5044 dispels any legal uncertainty, ensuring that these important policy changes to the law are sustained. most importantly, this bill provides peace of mind for surviving spouses of veteran business owners. and one of the main things a veteran is always looking out for is making sure that his or her spouse is taken care of after they're gone. so this will not only give the survimbinging spouse peace of mind, -- surviving spouse peace of mind, but the veteran, him or h

we know that that is where the phrase came from and it does not appear anywhere else in the united states code to which as far as i am aware of but quite frankly, i would not think the court would need to go any further than looking to the plain meaning of the term insufficient but the policies in a meeting the inclusion of this provision. i think it would lead to highly anomalous results to limit insufficiencies and to exclude cases in which language is overbroad but violative of the statute. >> to think if the situation had been perfected to the congress then enacted the 1968 legislation which was basically it's a crime legislation that they would have said yes and in this case mr. dahda can be convicted even though it happened here had no effect on -- >> i do think so precisely because of what congress or the senate, to be more precise, said in the senate report where the senate made quite clear in page 96 of the report as indicated in the other title iii was enacted against a backdrop of a vigorous national debate of whether wiretapping should even be permitted in the first place and i thi

it does not appear anywhere else in the united states code, to which as far as i'm aware, but i think quite frankly, i would not think the court would need to go any further than looking to, again, the plain meaning of the material insufficient, but also the policies animating this provision. i think it would lead the highly anonymous results to limit insufficiency and to exclude cases in which language is overbroad but violative of the statute. >> do you think if this situation had been presented to the congress that enacted the 1968 legislation, which was basically anti-crime legislation, that they would have said yes, in this case, mr. dahda can't be convicted even though what happened here had no effect whatsoever on him? >> i think so. i think so precisely because of what congress or the senate, to be more precise, said, that it intended to compel compliance. strict compliance with the requirements of the statute. again, as i indicated at the outset. title 3 was enacted against the back drop of a vigorous national debate oh whether wiretapping should be permitted in the first pla
