“it never ceases to amaze me just how out of touch the Clinton-Gore administration is with the problems, the real problems, facing this Nation. For example, more than 5 million acres of beautiful forest lands have burned to a black ash due to years of mismanagement and neglect by this administration, and yet the Clinton-Gore administration has decided to focus its time, its energy, and the taxpayer dollars of every hardworking American on whether or not the Boy Scouts should be allowed to camp on public grounds. That is right, Mr. Speaker. This administration has launched its latest politically motivated attack against one of our Nation's most respected institutions, the Boy Scouts of America. Everyone knows that the Boy Scouts have done more for this country than the Clinton-Gore administration and the Boy Scouts are out educating young adults in character, responsibility and citizenship, three qualities that have not often been used to describe this administration. Mr. Speaker, it is time that the Clinton-Gore administration stop attacking every group that is making our Nation great and instead start focusing on the problems of this Nation.”
