...attendees, who received drafts of the proposals the day before, voiced concerns about what they characterized as a rushed process and quibbled over details throughout the meeting. A third session, they argued, would allow time for revisions and closer scrutiny of the document...

Some Senators expressed outrage over Helms' actions, including New York's Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who threw the document to he ground, stomped on it and deemed it a "packet of filth...
