Jack Kingston: “Let us just say it is an education bill, health care, welfare reform, and we stick in there, as are actual cases in…”

On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
Let us just say it is an education bill, health care, welfare reform, and we stick in there, as are actual cases in years past, $58 million for the American Shipbuilding Co. in Tampa, FL, $11 million for a powerplant modernization for a naval shipyard that is about to be closed in Philadelphia. And we stick in another $1 million for plant stress studies in Texas. The President gets the health care bill. He says, wait, these three items, I do not like them. And so he circles them so to speak sends them back to Congress. He has got to do that within 10 days. He cannot just sit on it.
