Political Quotes

On the recordMay 19, 1994
those of us who come from Pennsylvania have a historic bond with the coal mines and the courageous people who have harvested that precious fuel over the generations. So we have almost uniformly supported the efforts to provide recompense to the miners who become afflicted with the deadly disease which is the subject of today's legislation. So I begin this process in this debate with a hard leaning towards supporting the benefits package that is before us, but I do owe it to my own nature in watching carefully the extent of the funding and the spending that might be included in this legislation, so I will reserve final judgment on the bill as I review the amendments as they will be offered to see whether or not the process which is so important in the ultimate funding of that process would merit final support.
