Mr. Chairman. there they go again. The pattern the Republicans set for the first 200 days was to cut spending and repeal programs intended to help children. the poor. the elderly. legal immigrants. and working families. so they can give tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans at the same time they are balancing the federal budget by 2002. The first significant piece of legislation for the second hundred days is the Clean Water Amendments of 1995. H.R. 961. known in some circles as the "Dirty Water Act" because the Republicans have chosen to protect polluters rather than the health and wellbeing of ordinary people.
