On the recordMarch 3, 1995
Mr. President, unless I am badly mistaken, when the bill I shall offer today hits the hopper there is likely to be the usual outburst of usual phony demagoguery among our liberal brethren in the political arena and in the news media. It always happens when a proposal is made to do away with any Federal program that was established in the first place to attract votes for liberal candidates and liberal issues. The liberal brethren can begin their holier than thou lamentations, because here comes the bill that proposes to eliminate so-called affirmative action programs that have done more harm than good in terms of race relations, which have been exceedingly costly to the American taxpayers, and worst of all, have been so burdensome for people trying to operate small businesses or, in fact, businesses of any size.
