On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
I do not disagree, obviously, with the Senator from Alaska or the Senator from Oregon. I think in the event we should reach an agreement with the President on a balanced budget we can take care of all the appropriations bills that are still around here, but otherwise it is going to present a real problem. But I would just say the House insisted that they be for 1 year or they not be included at all. So you had to make a judgment because some of these are very sensitive programs, very important programs. So we yielded to the wishes of the House appropriators in this case. But I understand the Senator's concern.
