Political Quotes

On the recordMay 10, 1994
As the gentleman will recall, the introduced bill by request only had the Economic Development Administration, but historically the Committee on Public Works and Transportation in dealing with the Economic Development Act always has with it the Appalachian Regional Commission, so to the extent we added ARC to the introduced bill, or to our bill, we had to get a technical waiver, the gentleman is absolutely correct on that. Mr. Speaker, we did have a cost estimate as to title I and title II portion of the bill. The Committee on Public Works and Transportation really never asked for a general waiver nor is there a violation of the Budget Act in this provision or in the introduced bill or in the substitute that we have under consideration here. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to explain our committee's position on the relevant points that the gentleman brought up, and I hope the gentleman will accept the explanation for that.
