On the recordMay 25, 1994
I rise now in opposition to the rule. I support the bill. It is a fundamentally sound bill, maintaining the trend of ever-lower yearly foreign aid appropriations. But many of the remaining Members of the House are not getting adequately heard on this bill. Their amendments proposed to the Committee on Rules have not been permitted under this rule, and accordingly I must oppose it. The gentleman from New York had amendments to restore cuts in the international narcotics program, none of which were allowed but which could be addressed if we defeat the previous questions. The gentleman from Ohio had an amendment to provide an across-the-board cut. The gentleman from Pennsylvania had a very thoughtful amendment to strike funding to countries that vote overwhelmingly against us in the United Nations. The gentleman from Florida had an amendment to cut AID operating expenses.
