On the recordJanuary 4, 1996
I commend the gentleman for this, his observation. There are many things, all these riders do not belong in a spending bill. This is not just about spending. It is about bad policy and it is about bad priorities in this bill. In fact, the veto of this bill was not even a close call, I would not think, of the President. What has happened here is we have had Republicans in the House and Senate, after 14 months, agreeing with themselves and not making any effort or not a substantial enough of an effort to in fact come to resolution on these issues which have been 30 years of environmental policy by both Democrats and Republicans, Presidents and Congresses.
