Political Quotes

On the recordAugust 4, 1998
my amendment is simply a perfecting amendment. I agree with the gentleman from Colorado that TV Marti is an unfortunate waste of taxpayers' money. Because its broadcasts are jammed, TV Marti does not have a significant audience and in fact I would think it should be eliminated. Like the underlying amendment, my amendment deletes the funding for TV Marti but leaves just a bit more money in the international broadcasting operations for other programs. Mr. Chairman, I would hope that the gentleman would accept my amendment.
