On the recordMay 23, 1996

Senator Domenici is proposing a second-degree amendment which increases funding for education, job training and health by $2 billion and funding for nondefense discretionary programs by $5 billion overall. The Domenici amendment is not all the funding we need for the programs including title I and Head Start and I would propose the options in my amendment; however I do support this amendment and its modification because it is an important step in the right direction. I do support the amendment.
