On the recordJuly 11, 1995
What really is kind of bothering me about this is it is being charged not to just this budget but also to the future. We are borrowing this money. We are going to go out and borrow this money. On July 4, I had a nephew born, Keenan Tiahrt. He was born July 4, 1995, and because of spending like this that goes to the debt, he is going to have to pay $197,000 in taxes just to pay the interest on the debt. So we are charging it to his account and to my children's account and to the next generation's account. So it is a little bit difficult. We do not want to micromanage this. But I am not sure what we are going to have to do, whether we have to shame the Secretary of the Department of Energy to travel on the same budget the rest of us travel on.
