Martin Sabo: “Let me finish a minute. I am not one who talks about pork. I think…”

On the recordFebruary 6, 1995

Let me finish a minute. I am not one who talks about pork. I think there is good cause at times for demo projects. I do not condemn them. I have been involved with them. Sometimes they are contract authority, sometimes they are authorized and appropriated money. I have got a couple right now that are partially one, partially the other. The authorized part would be subject to line-item veto; the contract authority would not. There is absolutely no reason for the distinction.
