On the recordMarch 10, 1994
Because of that very concern, because there are a lot of things in here that I do not like, one of them, for instance, is privatizing of Amtrak which runs 270 miles right straight through my district, and I have probably more stops than anyone, yet I cannot vote against this whole budget because it happens to be in here. I put in a caveat so if we have a reconciliation bill later on, or if we have our 13 appropriation bills and the agricultural appropriation bill comes forth, there is nothing to prevent the gentleman from substituting and putting back in the CCC, and making light cuts within the domestic programs. And I would imagine the gentleman would see fit to do that. We were looking out for the gentleman's interests when we put this in here.
