I wish to engage the chairman, the distinguished gentleman from Florida [Mr. Young], in a colloquy of importance to my district and to the Nation as a whole. I would say to the chairman of the committee, it had been my intention to come before the Subcommittee on National Security, which the gentleman chairs, to ask for his support of an environmental restoration database center at the Superfund site of the former Olmsted Air Force base, now the Harrisburg International Airport, which is in my congressional district in Pennsylvania. However, knowing that the committee's preference was to proceed without such amendments, I have instead come to the floor of the House to discuss my concerns about the database center.
