Dianne Feinstein: “It does permit a separate capital budget for major capital improvements. I believe it would be foolish to put strictures…”

On the recordFebruary 26, 1997

It seems to me that the Constitution of the United States should provide general concepts, and the specifics of those concepts should be worked out by the Congress of the United States.
