David Weldon: “I understand that the work of this committee is very difficult, that…”

On the recordJune 10, 1999

I understand that the work of this committee is very difficult, that we are operating under very tight budget constraints and priorities have to be set. But it is really the will of the People's House that sets the ultimate priorities. That is the way the Founding Fathers intended it. If you support this amendment, you will not be helping China's missile program. You will be helping immediately to expand our domestic capacity by 20 to 30 percent. You will promote more satellites being launched from U.S. soil. It is a very, very modest amount of money. I encourage all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support the amendment.
