Political Quotes

On the recordJune 10, 1994
reclaiming my time and closing my remarks regarding this amendment, it is very obvious that there are two points to be made here: First to the Members of the House, if this were their district, how would they react to this treatment that is so arbitrary and capricious? First, our national defense is involved. The cutting edge of our technology is involved. I deal daily with NASA's programs, and this is absolutely ludicrous treatment of that part of the process. Above and beyond that, a Member's district who knows it best. Mr. Chairman, I would urge the Members to seriously consider how they would react to this kind of arbitrary treatment.
