On the recordOctober 1, 1999
Mr. Speaker, I think that we have just seen in the last two distinguished speakers a beautiful example of democracy genuinely at work. The first speaker that we heard said that he was opposing this legislation because he feels that it is spending approximately $10 billion too much; a very distinguished Member of this House, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Miller). We then heard another very distinguished Member of this House, the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) explain in detail why she is opposing this legislation, one of the reasons being why, it is, in her estimate, not spending billions enough. There is obviously a disagreement, but that is democracy. Some feel too much is being spent, others feel too little is being spent. I think it is appropriate at this time, if I may, if I could take just a few minutes to explain what the bill is doing.
