On the recordMarch 22, 1994
First, let me say that I am pleased that my Democrat colleagues on the Committee on House Administration now support cutting overall committee funding. Personally, I wanted more cuts. In fact, my freshman Republican colleagues have called for more dramatic cuts; last year 25 percent, and this year it was 10 percent. This call for dramatic cuts is in direct response to the directive of our constituents for more responsible government. Thus I suppose that the big question is how much should the cut be? According to the Republican baseline, House Resolution 369, passed on a party-line vote, results in a reduction to committee funding by 2.3 percent, a minor cut but still a cut.
