On the recordMarch 23, 1994
we have an opportunity this year to enact a comprehensive overhaul of the Superfund Program. We can put an end to the endless litigation that has crippled this program. We can make the ability to pay a consideration in determining the liability of responsible parties. And we can, once and for all, resolve the matter of retroactive liability. Mr. Speaker, it is convenient and popular to think of Superfund as a problem of big business. But I can assure my colleagues that Superfund does not discriminate. It will come after our neighbors, our school districts, our grandmothers, and the corner grocer. Like the endless string of horror movie sequels that Hollywood never tires of making us, Superfund is always looking for a new venue to play. Watch for ``Nightmare on Main Street''--coming soon to a location nearby. I urge all Members to support a comprehensive Superfund reauthorization this year.
