On the recordMay 22, 1998
I do, however, take exception with one small portion of the bill that I am greatly concerned about. That is cutting into title XX, which is clearly under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Ways and Means. There are $3 billion that are taken out of that program. Also, the flexibility has been reduced in order to get a budgetary advantage. That is going to require some damage control, and I would tell my colleagues, where the Governors and State legislatures all over this country are going to be very delighted and very happy with what we are going to pass today, but they are going to be coming back and to be very upset with title XX, which is a very important program to all the people across this country.
