On the recordJuly 13, 1995
This backlog, Catellus, is not in it. This backlog is not unique to the Democrats, because the majority on our Committee on Resources just reported out a $5 million new national park. I mean if we are really serious about no backlog and whittling down the backlog, let us whittle down the backlog. Let us not add to this. This is money the taxpayers have deposited in a trust fund that they believe that was going to be utilized to take care of whatever that valuable piece of property you described or some other ecosystem of the United States.
