Sidney Yates said "The heavy hand of the full chairman of the committee was felt immediately by the Interior Subcommittee. Our 692(b) allocation was cut by more than a billion dollars on the first go-around. On the second go-around on the 602(b), we were cutting another $17 million dollars. So, there is a lot of PR work for the chairman and for me to do with the chairman of the full committee if we want to be treated as we should be treated. This is America's bill. This is the bill that fosters our natural resources. This is the bill that is working on providing energy savings. This is the bill that provides for cultural enrichment throughout the United States. Yet, as a result of the 602(b) allocation, we just do not have the funds with which to carry on the kind of activities that we ought to. Our natural resources are going to suffer." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
