On the recordJanuary 4, 1995
I am happy with the gentleman's cooperative spirit here, but would say he is willing to tackle the committee staff reductions, and I applaud that and will vote for that, but we should also tackle the personal staff issue. For Members like myself and many others who have returned $650,000 through the years, we do not want that money spent on other Members going over their mail accounts. When you decipher what you have just said, we want to be able to have that money go to the U.S. Treasury, and a simple sentence in this provision, if it was not a closed rule, could say unspent personal office funds shall be directed to the United States Treasury out of our accounts.
