On the recordMarch 12, 1998
I say that the leadership of the chairman of the subcommittee is something for which we are all grateful. He helped donor States that were being shortchanged to come up to a much fairer level. It really makes a difference when you have a leader like Senator Warner, who is working to assure fairness to assure the goals that we all seek, and I am deeply indebted to my good friend for the work that he has done not just for Virginia, but for many States and for everybody in America. I thank my distinguished colleague.
