On the recordJuly 15, 1997
I believe that they can probably absorb several millions of dollars worth of improvements, but the budget pressures that we are under, and others have worked so hard, I was going to offer an amendment to add $250,000 to the cemetery's budget. I appreciate the gentleman's leadership and respect the hard work of the subcommittee. So I would merely request that during the conference with the other body the gentleman from California seek to add that $250,000 to the operations and maintenance accounts so that we can maintain Arlington in the manner reflecting the deeds of those who are buried there.
