On the recordApril 26, 1994
I really appreciate this time and would just like to briefly and very regretfully speak against the chairman of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs' legislation here. The simple fact is that the entire Federal work force has to be reconsidered, the entire work force is being considered, and to arbitrarily get into the exemption of one agency, a very major agency, of the Federal Government I would say casts real problems and irregularities on the entire process. Obviously, the administration is going to have to have discretion as to how many personnel cuts are going to be achieved in the various agencies and the various functions of those agencies. But if we get into totally exempting one area of this program, we really do major damage to the entire program, and I regretfully oppose the chairman's initiative.
