On the recordMay 3, 1994
I want to encourage all Members to sign the discharge petition to bring H.R. 3266 to the floor. This bill known as the A to Z spending cut bill will give every Member the opportunity to bring specific spending cut amendments to the floor for a vote. It provides for free and open debate and an up-or-down vote on each and every proposal. This is a commonsense plan that would help cut out waste and fat from our Government's budget. The bill has over 227 cosponsors and in spite of the opposition who fear reduced spending, the will of this body and the cry of taxpayers across this country will be heard.
