Gerald Kleczka: “I direct the attention of the Members to page 90 of the authorization…”

On the recordOctober 11, 1995

I direct the attention of the Members to page 90 of the authorization bill before us where we do authorize funds for various programs in the fossil fuel energy program. If the Members look down to the coal technology, up pops off the page one big fat earmark, and if I might read the portion that deals with the authorization for oil technology, it indicates an amount of $43,234,000 for operating; however, it adds including maintaining programs of the National Institute of Petroleum and Energy Research. Mr. Chairman, the reason I raise this point is because the House spoke a few months ago on the appropriations bill whereby a vote of 251 to 160 this earmark was deleted.
