On the recordJuly 29, 1998
The Texas Compact Act was passed by a floor vote of 309-107 in the House. The Texas compact has bipartisan support in its member States, in Congress and in the Nation. Congress has approved nine similar compacts for 41 States without amendments and without opposition. The compact's member States oppose any amendments to this legislation. I support the rule. I support the proposal. It is in the best interest of Texas, Maine and Vermont, and it is in the best interest of this country. These entities need this safe disposal site, they need cooperation and collaboration between these States, and the State legislatures, the States' governors and the people of these States have supported these efforts. I ask for the consideration of this legislation.
