“I rise in strong support of H.R. 369, the committee funding resolution for 1994. I want to thank and commend the chairman of the Subcommittee on Accounts, Mr. Frost, and all the members of the subcommittee and the full House Administration Committee for the fairness and courtesy with which we have been treated in this process. This resolution represents a responsible approach to the matter of committee funding. While it imposes discipline, it will also allow our committees sufficient resources to fulfill their responsibilities to the full membership of the House. Some of the more important measures to be considered by the 103d Congress fall within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, foremost among them health care reform. We are also working on reform of our telecommunications regulatory system, as well as reauthorization of Superfund and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. This resolution wisely and prudently acknowledges the need for fiscal responsibility with the American public's demand that we complete our work, and I urge my colleagues to support the resolution.”
