Chairman. I rise in strong support of the Obey amendment. It provides a fiscally responsible way to address real emergencies. of supporting our troops in Kosovo. aids thousands of fleeing refugees. helps farmers who are being left high and dry here at home and the Central American communities trying to rebuild after the destruction of hurricane Mitch. It is a responsible alternative. rather than the Republican bill which is loading up with nonemergency defense items and from a group of people who just last week decided that it was not in the best interest of our troops who are in the field. men and women in the field. to support their efforts. that they come back and try to pile on in this supplemental appropriation. The Obey amendment represents the values of American families.
