On the recordMarch 14, 1996
Mr. President, I have a long heritage in the Pacific Northwest. I was born and raised there. My father was born and raised there, and, in fact, my mother was born and raised in Butte, MT. In fact, my husband's grandfather was born in Seattle back at the end of the last century. We know the people in this region. We know why they are angry today. They are angry because the rider that passed last year through this Congress left them--people, my brothers, my sisters, my friends, the people I have run into in the grocery store and at townhall meetings across my State--it has left those people out of the decisionmaking process when it comes to our Federal force. People in our region want to be involved. They want to have a say, and they do care. They care deeply.
