On the recordJune 25, 1996
my question to the gentleman from New York is, there have been a lot of questions about the State revolving loan fund. The gentleman from California [Mr. Waxman] has pointed out a number of parts about it. I would ask the gentleman from New York, can we agree and promise the American people and Members of this body that when it goes to the conference committee, that the 57-percent trigger that protects the State revolving loan fund will stay in there? Because without that trigger, this thing becomes more a pork barrel project than what has been added to it. The only way to protect this bill and those 375 earmarks that are there is that we have some protection that that 75 trigger remains in. I know the gentleman will be in the conference committee. Can he promise that to the Members and the American people?
