On the recordAugust 1, 1996
This conference agreement has programs that benefit every one of our constituents and their lives every day no matter where they live or what they do. I respectfully ask that we get an ``aye'' vote on the conference agreement on H.R. 3603. This is a solid bipartisan bill which advances both the goals of budget reduction and the support of a large number of programs important to the health and safety of the American people. The additional money added in the conference has gone almost entirely for rural development, research and education programs all of which have high priority and long-term benefits.
