On the recordMay 12, 1995
I ask this body to recognize the important need of investment. Behind every major industrial development project is a need for waste treatment disposal. We are asking the Government, governmental sector, local and State governments and public service districts to take on an increased responsibility along with increased flexibility. This is not the time to be cutting back the authorization for them to do that. It is the time actually to be increasing. I will not make that argument on the floor today, but I would urge that we not support the amendment of the gentleman from Oklahoma and urge my colleagues to permit the language to continue that is in the bill.
