Nancy Kassebaum: “I do intend to vote against this bill, and my opposition is based on…”

On the recordFebruary 7, 1994

I do intend to vote against this bill, and my opposition is based on my conviction that it compounds rather than corrects the deficiencies of current Federal job training efforts. Just consider the fact that we already have 154 separate job training programs on the books. By passing this bill, we will have 155. The Federal Government spends nearly $25 billion each year on these 154 job training programs, according to the General Accounting Office.
