On the recordJuly 8, 1997
Mr. President, I strongly object to this amendment. It is already at $20 million. The fundamental question here arises when we are complaining about the fact that there is not enough money for flying time, there is not enough money for pay raises, there is not enough money for quality of life for men and women who are in the military who are serving, and there is not enough money for modernization of the force--and every military leader will tell you that--and now we want to add $28 million to a program which, really, the National Guard has no business being in. It has no business being in a Civilian Youth Opportunity Program. Oftentimes we refer to the job and role of our Founding Fathers, Mr. President. Who in our Founding Fathers thought that the job of the National Guard was to administer Civilian Youth Opportunity Programs?
