On the recordJune 26, 1996
I understand the Senator's interest in this matter and I share his admiration for Governor O'Callaghan. What he suggests is entirely appropriate and fitting. I would point out, to my ranking member, that there is no precedent in a military appropriations bill for naming a facility after an individual. My fear is that there would be many requests, legitimate requests, for the committee to do so in the event that we were to take this action on this bill.
