Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman from Wisconsin for yielding me this time. I rise before my colleagues to express my outrage today at what my colleagues and I are asked to vote on. First of all. the supplemental contains many proposals which I support. aid to the Kosovo refugees. aid to Americans. including our farmers who are victims of disasters. aid to Central American Hurricane Mitch victims and military personnel pay raises. But. Mr. Speaker. this bill is sinister and it is cynical. The offsets in this bill are outrageous. In order to support the good proposals in this bill. we would be forced to create an emergency here at home.
