“yesterday President Clinton drove a few miles from the White House and picked up a few logs for Earth Day to try to show his dedication to the environment. I have to ask, why is this President trying to make the environment one of his key campaign issues? He has no monopoly on concern for the environment, just exaggerated rhetoric. It seems that ever since the Democrats became an endangered species here in Washington, they have turned up the heat on their big-lie campaign in an attempt to take back the majority in Congress. It just so happens that their shameful big-lie campaign is now politicizing the environment. Mr. Speaker, I want a clean and healthy environment for my children and grandchildren. I support using modern technology and scientific evidence to make sure our environmental protection laws are effective. Mr. Speaker, let us work together to protect our environmental resources, not use them as pawns in cheap political games.”
