On the recordMay 11, 1994
This bill comes to the floor with bipartisan support--and we on the Public Works and Transportation Committee take great pride in this. Another unique thing about today is that it marks the last time that Mr. Carl Lorenz will be available to the Public Works and Transportation Committee to help guide the EDA and the ARC yet again through the legislative process. Carl was set to retire last week, but I convinced him to stay until we are through here today and tomorrow. Carl has been on the staff of the Public Works Committee for 30 years. He was here in the 1960's when the EDA and the ARC were created. He is here now. Carl is unmatched in the area of knowledge about economic development in our country. He has been a trusted advisor to many chairmen on Public Works and Transportation, and he has helped me greatly in my tenure as chairman of the Economic Development Subcommittee. I want to wish him well as he moves to his retirement.
