On the recordAugust 4, 1998

I rise in opposition. The perfecting amendment and the amendment both would do away with the funding for TV Marti. The gentleman from Colorado, a friend and member of our subcommittee who has served so well in this Congress and in our subcommittee, has led a long and determined effort to kill funding for TV Marti. This is the most recent chapter of a long book, and the gentleman is to be commended for, if nothing else, his persistence and a well-reasoned argument, but the full committee again this year rejected his amendment in full committee. It has been rejected in subcommittee. It has been rejected in full committee for several years running.
