On the recordJuly 24, 2002

the eloquence of the distinguished gentleman from Maryland cannot be added or subtracted to without doing it an injustice. I appreciate the words of the gentleman from Maryland in support of this amendment. I understand his concerns, which I share about making sure the program continues. We wish to strengthen it through this amendment and that is what I will work to do. I appreciate also the support of the distinguished gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Istook) to whom I yield the balance of my time.
