On the recordMay 9, 1995
Mr. Chairman, I, too, rise in support of the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Traficant]. Let me first acknowledge that for the several Congresses we have just come through I have had the extraordinary privilege of chairing the Coast Guard Subcommittee of the former Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, and so I know the awesome task and the difficult job that my good friend, the gentleman from North Carolina, Mr. Howard Coble, has now in shepherding this bill and dealing with these very complex and controversial issues, particularly at a time of deep budget strain and stress. I take my hat off to no one in voting to make budget cuts around here. I do a lot more of that than many of the Members do, and we have a lot more of that coming, but part of the process by which we make budget cuts, and we reach toward that incredibly difficult goal of a balanced budget by the year 2002, is a process called prioritizing.
