On the recordMarch 12, 1998
I certainly want to refer to the early days in the consideration of this bill, and to the tenacious manner in which he fought on behalf of not only his State but other States that found themselves in similar disparity in terms of the allocation of funds under the 1991 act. It is through his leadership that much of the achievement of equity in this bill has been reached. And I just want to personally thank him.
