On the recordFebruary 16, 1995
Senator, ``You cram these words into mine ears against the stomach of my sense.'' The Senator spoke of the omnibus continuing resolution. I have a little grandson who would say, ``Do you know what?'' Well, do you know what? On that continuing resolution that was so heavy and that Mr. Reagan dropped on the table before a joint session of the Congress, do you know what? He asked that those appropriations be sent to him in one bill. I was here. I know. He asked that they be given to him in one bill. Any further questions?
