On the recordSeptember 7, 1995
Mr. Chairman, with that in mind, we are saying as 535 Members of Congress today, since the Senate did not put this in their bill, we have the opportunity to save the taxpayers one-half billion dollars, and $20 billion over the course of the next 10 years, by voting for the Kasich-Dellums amendment. We are also saying that we are going to look at every corner of deficit reduction in Federal spending, but not in defense and not on the B-2 bomber. That is exempt. We are saying to the Secretary of Defense, we know more than you do about the B-2 bomber. You do not want it, Mr. Secretary, but we are going to make you buy 20 more. Please vote for the Kasich-Dellums amendment.
