On the recordMarch 26, 1998
as the President travels the continent of Africa, he has made a whole lot of promises. For example, earlier this week he promised to send taxpayers' money to Uganda to help them wire their schools for the Internet. We have schools right here in the District of Columbia with roofs that leak, and the President has promised money for the school districts of Uganda. You would think that Bill Clinton is running for the President of Uganda. But I doubt that the people of Uganda would support the President's agenda of higher taxes and more Washington spending. I wonder if this is just another version of executive privilege. Mr. Speaker, I hope the President returns soon. The way he is making promises in Africa, we can all kiss that surplus good-bye.
