Pete Sessions: “Let me ask the Senator this, and this is something I think we failed…”

On the recordSeptember 16, 1997

Let me ask the Senator this, and this is something I think we failed to think enough about, Mr. President. This money that is being spent in our States, the decision of where and how to spend that money primarily is being decided by a group of people in Washington. Under this procedure not only will 45 States have more money--correct me if I am wrong--45 States will have more money, but they will also have more control and be able to make the decisions that they feel would be the best use of that money; is that correct?
