On the recordMay 19, 1998
I am, of course, a strong supporter of the Historic Preservation Act. I represent a historic city, a city that was born with the Nation itself, with much to preserve on the Federal side and on the local side. I want to thank the gentlemen, also, for the faith they have kept to the Congressional Accountability Act because of the way they have brought our own agent, the Architect of the Capitol, under the Act, while giving him full latitude to accomplish his job. As we may recall, the Congressional Accountability Act indicated that Congress would submit itself to the same laws as everyone else. We have done that and kept faith with that. We have brought ourselves into account with this promise in this Act.
