On the recordFebruary 3, 1994
I think what they are suggesting in terms of cuts, in terms of essential services, are wrong, dead wrong. To cut 581 employees from the Food and Drugs Administration means, for every American family within the sound of my voice, we will not see drug approvals coming through as they should; approvals of medical devices to help people who are suffering; the inspection of mammography clinics, and inspection of those laboratories which are life and death in terms of the future of America's health. That is what we will sacrifice if the Penny-Kasich amendment passes. To do that in the name of helping earthquake victims, I think, is dead wrong. It is morally wrong for us to create this choice.
