On the recordJuly 9, 1997
I rise to express my support not only for the rule itself but also for the bill that will be before the House shortly. I can say that this is a very, very finely crafted bill. I wanted to share with the Members my thought that in crafting this bill, it is most impressive to see that the chairman and our ranking member have very carefully gone about scrubbing the numbers here to make certain that we are spending as little as possible for very, very important interests of the American public and our national strategic interests as well. I would point out that in the final analysis, there are some very significant cuts to a number of unmanned aerial vehicle programs and other technical programs in spite of the high priority given by my subcommittee. At the same time the funding that does go for technical assistance is critical to our future and I think the committee overall has done a very fine job.
