On the recordMay 15, 1997
if the gentleman is going to quote me, I wish he would use my words rather than his. That is not what I said. I never indicated that this would apply at all to legislation which had already passed. My point is that with the bills that have not yet become signed into law, you require 100 percent funding, whether we want to continue 100 percent funding or cut out those programs. Some of those old, outmoded programs that the Congress might like to eliminate or cut, this proposition requires that those programs be funded at 100 percent. That does not save any money, that costs money.
