“Mr. Chairman, I think we ought to stick to the issue instead of throwing darts. When we talk about small-mindedness and meanness, benevolence, I would remind my colleague from the Virgin Islands that it was the President himself who said that this money was not being used wisely, that he wanted to take it out himself, President Clinton. And I take a look at other votes. The reason this gentleman has a little bit of problem is, we are coming up before the committee and asking not only in other areas but in every area that we take away the money for those that are not Americans, truly. The people from the territories are Americans, but there are a lot of people in this country that are impacting our education and crime and other things that are illegal. I would like the gentleman's support when we come up with amendments to take those kinds of moneys away so that we will have money for Americans, as the gentleman says. Second, besides illegal immigration, we look at foreign aid. I agree with the gentleman. We have got too much money going overseas. We have got too much money going to Russia. The only good money, I think, that we do have going to Russia is the elimination, through Nunn-Lugar, where we are doing away with nuclear weapons. But the rest of it we should do away with and focus on the educational programs here.”
