David Skaggs: “This amendment would add into the weatherization program the available monies now existing underneath our 602(b)…”

On the recordJuly 17, 1995
This amendment would add into the weatherization program the available monies now existing underneath our 602(b) allocation budget authority of about $3.5 million that has been freed up by virtue of earlier amendments adopted this evening. Mr. Chairman, I could not agree more with the arguments made by the gentleman from Vermont [Mr. Sanders], and I anticipate being made by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Fox]. I would like to do much more to increase weatherization. I think this modest increase is all that is practicable, given the restraints on the bill. I would urge my colleagues to support it.
