Michael Castle said "Mr. Speaker, I want to respond to the gentleman on the other side of the aisle with respect to the point that we have not addressed the crime issue over here, have not created a trust fund, and so forth. The point is the time to get this thing reserved is now in the budget process. We will not have the money reserved for when we do need it and do pass out our bill in a couple of weeks, if we do not have a protective device through this budget process. So I think the vote on the motion to instruct is very meaningful, very important, very straightforward. Mr. Speaker, we are going to have the funds necessary to deal with the war on crime when we do get around to finishing our part in the next couple of weeks. We need to vote for the motion to instruct offered by the gentleman from Delaware [Mr. Castle]." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
