It is the committee's intent to allow for section 314 projects under the Clean Water Act to be funded with the $100 million designated for the Clean Lakes Program. In fact, the State is authorized to use any portion of the $100 million…

I agree with the NRC that the program's first group of components should not be delayed. Neither this bill nor its accompanying report instructs NASA to terminate or delay these very important missions.

Possibly. But, frankly, I have a feeling that under this scenario, if it is put back in this pool and they do meet the criteria, and we believe that they do, then they would be on a level playing field.

I want to say to my friend that while these are very difficult areas, I think the gentleman will agree and acknowledge that the administration very strongly supports NASA's work as well. NASA has been a leader in reinventing and reforming…

The 6th and 7th Circuits found--after the implementation of HUD's rule--that the Fair Housing Act applies to property insurance, while the 4th Circuit found--before the rule--that it does not. I would also say to the gentleman that it is…

I do not want to leave the wrong impression for the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Stokes], for our work has led to a great deal of agreement across the board with a variety and mix of difficult issues, but, yes, I am aware that on this issue…

The Perry Point VA Medical Center was a priority in fiscal year 1996. However, it never received any funding. The administration did not include Perry Point VA in its fiscal year 1997 budget. I recognize the gentleman's concern and I can…

Let me say that I very much appreciate the gentlewoman's expression of concern about the items that are part of this bill, but particularly the commitment and direction she is attempting to have us all give to the John Heinz Program. The…

I want Members to know that this year we have been operating in a different environment. Lou Stokes and I have long been very, very close friends and are most pleased to say that we have produced a product that very much reflects the…

Indeed, it is my work on the Select Committee on Intelligence that has caused me to believe that we are right on the verge of peace in our time. There is a hope for peace in the world, because of some of the things that America is about…

I rise simply to say that the statement of the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Goodling] is one of the finer statements I have ever heard on this floor. Mr. Chairman, just sending money without worrying about quality is what has been…

I do want the House to know that my colleague from Massachusetts brings up a very, very important point. It is an item that I have been concerned about in my own county in California. Literally, it is not our objective, as we try to…

In those circumstances, without that force available, if those Scuds had been accurate, potentially thousands of American lives could have been lost. The gentleman has articulate very well in our committee the fact that just two B-2's can…

Mr. Chairman, I might mention at the tail end of that discussion between the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Dingell] and the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Oxley] that we are allocated only so many dollars within our bill, very difficult dollars…

The gentleman has been a leader in this field for a long, long time, and as the former authorizing committee chairman, he knows full well that Superfund has not been reauthorized and so we are operating with a statute that all sides agree…

I want the Members to understand very clearly that this rescission did not reflect in any way, shape, or form a lack of concern for this problem. This Member takes no back seat to any Member regarding this issue. I introduced the first…

Indeed, what we are doing here or were doing here was to accept the President's recommendation of rescinding this program as we try to reexamine all of the handicapped services throughout the housing programs. But in the meantime, because…

Many local communities have been notified of their fiscal year 1995 allocations and have initiated community meetings to plan for the release of CDBG monies for the wide variety of eligible purposes.

It is very important the membership understand, but especially the membership of the Committee on Armed Services and the appropriate Appropriations subcommittees, there is little doubt that there is serious potential impact to our ability…

It is apparent to the membership that this vast area has huge potential in terms of activity that involves flight and overflight, very important to the military. This is territory where the stealth airplanes fly, for example. What kinds of…

I want to ask a general question, for I am not sure the House understands the reason for our focusing upon items relative to military land available in this region. This area is the home of the National Training Center for the Army, that…

I have one very brief question. In this committee that operates in such a democratic fashion (small d; big D perhaps) just how frequently has there been a discharge of a measure of this significance in the full committee without a…

I must say that you are clearly making my very point about the way the committee does operate. It is suggested that the committee often operates in this fashion, submitting substitutes at the last minute. This is a very complex subject, it…

I must say the point the gentleman is making is an important point. This is precisely the point that caused these Members who represent the desert to object so strenuously to the fact that the chairman of the full committee, the night…

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…
