Steny Hoyer: “In closing, I also want to make the comment that although he takes this money out of an account that is a large account…”

On the recordJuly 25, 2001
In closing, I also want to make the comment that although he takes this money out of an account that is a large account, it is a large account that has huge obligations in terms of the objects to which it is dedicated: that is, the maintenance and repair of Federal buildings all over this country. So although it seems to be a big pot out of which he is taking this money, it is, nevertheless, a pot which does not have enough money in it at this point in time to accomplish what GSA says is necessary in terms of repairs and alterations.
