We will now commence hearings on the Fiscal Year 1993 budget for the various Legislative Branch Agencies under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Legislative Branch Appropriations. I normally introduce the Members of the Subcommittee at this time. We have a number of Members of the Subcommittee who will be available sometime over the next couple of days and weeks as we complete this Legislative Branch hearing schedule. Obviously, Larry Smith of Florida, the Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee, will be a key member; Dave Obey, who has been a member for many, many years, and is probably as informed as any member of this Committee about the issues we deal with; John Murtha and Bob Traxler, who are both long-time members of the Subcommittee and stalwart supporters whenever needed, and Bill Lehman, who is a new Member of this Subcommittee. That means that, with the exception of Mr. Smith, all the other Subcommittee members are Subcommittee Chairmen and will, therefore, have occasionally a difficult time in attending, but I am sure that they will be, with staff present, fully informed about the issues that come before us. I would like to pay tribute to my friend and Ranking Member, Jerry Lewis of California, who has been serving on this Subcommittee as long as I have. Through the years, despite professional differences that we occasionally have, we have worked very closely for the benefit of the institution. I am very pleased that he is continuing in the role that he has. It is of benefit not only to members of the institution, but the American people, that we have people willing, as he has been, to take a tough assignment and spend a good deal of his time on it in a way that doesn't always, of course, pay dividends in the Member's individual district. John Porter, of Illinois, and Barbara Vucanovich of Nevada are also valued members of this Subcommittee, serving, in John's case, three or four terms and, of course, Barbara having been a very, very good member in her second year on the Subcommittee. Obviously full Committee Chairman Jamie Whitten and the ranking minority member of the full Committee, Joe McDade, are also members of the Subcommittee. |
