On the recordSeptember 9, 1999
No, I am supporting the independent budget of 3.2. I am going to vote against the bill on the floor because it is insufficient. And everybody in this House ought to vote against it so we do not have the problems that the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Green) raises, and that the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Kelly) is about to raise, and that we had raised earlier by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Barr). We are going to have colloquies from 435 districts about closing VA facilities unless we pass a reasonable bill.
