It has been more than 4 months since President Reagan sent up the original supplemental requests for this fiscal year. How can there be a dire emergency if we are sitting around on our hands? How long does it take to figure out that the overwhelming rejection of the Foley amendment means that the House wants a lean and clean supplemental? How long does it take to cross out the additional funding for programs that can wait a month for the regular bills? Mr. Speaker. our veterans. our students. our forest rangers. our workers unemployed because of unfair foreign competition. the Soviet refugees. the southwest African peacekeepers. are waiting. What are we waiting for?
