On the recordJune 9, 1994
May I just add, we do not have the facts. There has been no prospectus, there has been no study. We do not know on the basis of what has been done what in the world would justify these four courthouses. Now, so we are told to vote in the dark, and then wait and hope that some day some few people out there will ultimately make a decision that is called an authorization. That is voting in the dark, and that is why we have these kinds of over spending that take place. The prospectus could have been ordered long ago by the GSA. It could have been ordered by the authorizing committee. They saw fit not to do so. In fact, OMB turned down one of these courthouses. But there are no facts before us at this point to even debate in regard to the merit of these courthouses in the appropriations.
