Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 11, 1996
Let me again indicate that contrary to what a lady from Hanover, in my district, called this morning to say, I am not taking money from her sick family. How could anything be more wrong than a statement like that? I am trying to get a little bit of the increase to NIH moved to IDEA. I cannot emphasize enough how much we mandated everything in that law. We promised them 40 percent. Last year they got somewhere between 6 and 7 percent, and this year they do not get a penny more. So I would encourage all to keep in mind that we made a great promise 21 years ago. We called it a partnership, but the partnership turned out to be 'we will dictate from Washington everything you will do, and you will pay for it, because we said you will pay for it.'
