Excerpt from Legislative Branch Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1994: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on H. R. 2348, an Act Making Appropriations for the Legislative Branch for Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 1994, and for O Senator Reid. The subcommittee will come to order. Today the Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch begins the fiscal 1994 budget cycle. Let me begin by thanking Senator Mikulski for her continued service on this subcommittee. Barbara has been on the subcommittee during her entire career here in the Senate going on 7 years, as have I. I also want to welcome new members, especially Senator Patty Murray, who has joined the subcommittee on this side. And on the Republican side, we are pleased to have Senator Connie Mack, who will be the new ranking minority member, and Senator Conrad Burns. I have appreciated the support and cooperation of the minority during the 4 years I have been chairman of this subcommittee; Senator Don Nickles for 2 years and Senator Slade Gorton for 2 years. I wonder why they keep moving on, though, Jerry. I guess if they looked at my campaign, they would know why. The only grief I had during the campaign was because of my service on this illustrious subcommittee. I'm on these cameras for the next 6 years. The total budget request for the organizations and activities within our jurisdiction is $2,639,000,000. This represents an increase of $336 million, or almost 15 percent, over the amounts available for the current year.
