On the recordJune 5, 1996
let me state this again. I think it is fiscally inappropriate for the U.S. Congress to reduce the subsidy appropriation of an agency by 2.5 percent, and yet increase the salaries of bureaucrats by 4.2 percent. All my amendment says is very simply, everything is being downsized. How can we as Members of the U.S. Congress vote to increase the bureaucracies of an agency? Every agency is being downsized except the administrative staff of this one. That is all we are doing on this.
