I was disappointed that the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee did not include funding for the National Advanced Telecommunications and Applications Center in the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. I ask the chairman whether this is an indication that the subcommittee disapproves spending for this project or if it is merely because sufficient funds were unavailable?

It is difficult to see $185,000 an hour paid to plaintiffs' attorneys that come out of the working people of this country, too. And that bothers me considerably.
If they submit a record, they will have to submit a record to the Congress. And of course it would be perjury to lie about it. They have to submit the record. Yes, I am saying they are going to be held responsible. And to the same fees…
I think the Senator has a workable plan to move this toward a solution, and I urge the Department of the Interior and the District Government to study the matter and report back to us early next year.
Therefore, may I assume that the chairman would support a reprogramming request from any branch of the Department of Defense if that branch found that unavoidable delays in its other programs made funding available for the NATAC?
