On the recordMay 12, 1995
I congratulate Senator McConnell for the work he has done in connection with solid waste. It is a subject he has been interested in for a good number of years. Kentucky is a State that has established one of the most comprehensive solid waste reduction plans of any State and the Senator was very conscious of that in his dealing with the legislation before us. Mr. President, I again congratulate the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, Senator McConnell, for the work he has done.
