Norman D. Dicks: “I would just say, the fact is the program the gentleman is cutting by…”

On the recordJune 19, 1996

I would just say, the fact is the program the gentleman is cutting by $30 million is the program called timber purchaser credits, where the timber companies build the roads and then they bid less for the timber to compensate themselves for the roads that have been constructed, so I would say the gentleman is cutting that program by 60 percent. That is hardly a de minimis act. He ought to be adding money to the program, not cutting it.
