On the recordApril 6, 1995
I certainly recognize the value of the program that the Senate is trying to support, but it just seems to me that the worst thing one can do in a situation of tight budgets is to unfairly raise people's expectations about the ability of the Federal Government to fund yet another program when, in fact, we are making substantial reductions in programs that now do some very good things for a lot of people who need help. I share the gentleman's view on that point, and would simply observe that for all of the Members who voted for the motion to instruct, demanding that conferees come back with a bill which is essentially budget neutral and does not add to the deficit, we won our point, and I think that deserves recognition on our part on the conference report.
