On the recordMay 11, 1995
It seems to me the gentleman makes a very good case for San Diego and he ought to get his waiver under existing law. But the point I want to make to the gentleman, it is not in any way denigrating your case, but in our situation, the local people want the secondary treatment and the bureaucrats that are dragging their feet are local bureaucrats. So let us understand, bureaucrats are not only at the Federal level that frustrates actions that the people want.
