I think it might also be interesting to point out, in addition to what the gentleman from Alabama just said, that a lot of other solid conservative Governors who are in favor of cutting wasteful spending have given wholehearted support to the Appalachian Regional Commission. Governor George Pataki of New York, Governor George Allen of Virginia, Governor Don Sundquist of Tennessee, Kirk Fordice of Mississippi, have all given the ARC their ringing public endorsements, because they realize that ARC is an example of a proven program which works, and works well. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
