On the recordSeptember 8, 1999
The largest cut to EPA is a 3 percent cut that the gentleman from Virginia just identified, and I want to read just briefly the type of things that we are seeking this minor reduction in: travel expenses, including uniforms or allowances thereof; hire of passenger motor vehicles; higher maintenance and operation of aircraft; purchase of reprints; library memberships in societies or associations which issue publications to members only or at a price to members lower than subscribers. This is hardly the gloom and doom scenario that has been outlined. This is a minor cut to a less than national security related program; and in exchange, we can fund science. I think clearly that our priorities ought to be in that regard rather than to library memberships and associations for EPA bureaucrats.
