We strongly oppose the Grams-McCain amendment and strongly support the Appalachian Regional Commission at this level. Mr. President, this has been an effective program to fight poverty in Appalachia. Appalachia is still one of the most expensive places to build roads, one of the poorest places on the face of the United States, and one of the most needed functions of Government that I can think of. It is an ongoing program that brings roads and access to people in the mountains and hollows and poor areas of West Virginia and other States in Appalachia. We strongly oppose the Grams amendment and support Senator Domenici's motion to table.
