On the recordMay 9, 1995
The Special Olympics is a program which gives handicapped children and adults the opportunity to compete in sporting events and thereby enhance their self-esteem and self-image. The Torch Relay Run through the Capitol Grounds is an annual event which this committee has traditionally supported and I am very pleased once again to support the resolution authorizing use of the grounds for this very worthwhile endeavor. I commend both the gentleman from Maryland [Mr. Gilchrest], chairman of the Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Economic Development, and the gentleman from West Virginia [Mr. Wise], the subcommittee's ranking Democrat for moving this resolution in a timely fashion. The event is scheduled for May 19. I join my colleagues in urging passage of this resolution.

Mr. Chairman, it seems to me this is a significant list. These are people who voted yesterday on the Goss amendment and it seems to me Members ought to take a look at this list and see how they voted, if they voted ``aye'' on the Goss…
