On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
Mr. Speaker, it is important also to understand that throughout this very long first year of this change in direction of government for the first time in 60 years, we have passed seven appropriations bills, which encompass about two-thirds of the funding of all government activities. The remaining one-third of the funding of government activities are covered by the remaining 6 appropriations bills. Three of them were vetoed by the President and three of them, admittedly, have not made their way through the processes. It is unfortunate, but they are working their way through. Along the way, while we were all discussing the appropriations bills, we forgot one thing: The House and the Senate and the President of the United States came to an agreement that we should stop doing business as usual as we have for 60 years, increasing spending, regulation, taxing, big government, and centralization of government in Washington.
