On the recordApril 30, 1997
I think the Senator is saying I was correct, then, that we are increasing over the President's own budget that he put forward last year. The Senator is making the point that there are new expenditures that you would like to make. I ask the Senator from California if she does not think it would be more responsible if the President would keep his word, keep to the $539 million that he asked for last year for this year, and set the priorities.
