For those of you who believe that Committee funding makes little difference in how the policies of our country are forged I must note that the two Committees which reported the most partisan legislation. the Committee on Government Reform and the Committee on the Judiciary. have the worst funding ratios. As it stands in the current form of the resolution. the Judiciary Committee on which I sit. has approximately threequarters of its resources dedicated to the Majority. As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims. I find that deeply disturbing because it means that theoretically. my staff is outnumbered three to one as it regards my Republican counterpart. The Democratic alternative to this bill is much more palatable to our common sensibilitiesalthough it still does not do all that it could to recognize our small numeric deficit.
