On the recordMarch 15, 1995

there is obviously a new game being played in Washington. It is called bait and switch. The rules are simple. Propose massive and irresponsible budget cuts and then 2 weeks later stand up in front of the TV cameras and claim you are fighting to restore the very cuts you have initiated. I am tired of this hypocrisy, Mr. Chairman. We should not be having choices between our veterans and our opportunities for our young people. Regular order in this Nation is not being followed by this budget.
