“If there is money in this bill, it is funny money, it is more worthless than monopoly money. We cannot put money in an appropriations bill. The purpose is to appropriate money; it is an action activity; and make it contingent upon finding the money. We either have it in the appropriations bill or we do not. This appropriations bill does not fund peacekeeping, it does not fund the Advanced Technology Program, and it does not fund the COPS Program. That kills the COPS Program, and that is terribly regrettable and, I think, will guarantee its veto, as the majority knows, by the President of the United States.”
