On the recordSeptember 5, 1997
My point was not that this money is a small amount of money. My point was simply that a $4.3 million impact on a $600 million budget is infinitesimal in comparison to its effect on a budget which is only one-sixth that size. I would make the point that the amendment would provide less than $1 in additional help to every child my colleague is talking about, but it would provide a devastating cut in the ability to enforce protection for workers not in Washington, but in sweatshops in Los Angeles, in New York, and Chicago, in Wisconsin or any other State in the Union where workers are being taken advantage of every day.
