ISTOOK, JR., Oklahoma FREDERICK G. MOHRMAN, Clerk and Staff Director (II) 00-325533 LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1994 MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1993. Mr. FAZIO. This is the first session of the 1994 fiscal year Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee hearings. This morning we are going to take up the issues that I think are of central importance as to how we run the House of Representatives. But before we get to that, I would like to introduce what is a very dramatically changed makeup of this subcommittee. First of all, we have a new Ranking Member, although not a new Member of the House Appropriations Committee; in fact, he is third ranking among the Republicans. He is a very senior Republican member, Bill Young of Florida. Then we have Ron Packard, a colleague of mine from California, whom we look forward to working with in this capacity, having worked with him on so many other things. Also on the Republican side, a gentleman whom I understand is on his way in from the airport, Charles Taylor of North Carolina, a new Member of our committee, along with Mr. Packard. On the Democrat side, I would like to welcome Jim Moran from nearby Virginia, who has a great deal of interest in the work of this committee, and who has made this his first choice among his subcommittees. We are glad to have him here. We also have David Obey-who will join us later on-and John Murtha, two senior Members of this subcommittee who have been with us for a number of years. We also have two other relatively new Members of our full committee, Bob Carr and Jim Chapman. Bob Carr, of course, is chairing the Transportation Subcommittee and Jim Chapman sits with me on Energy and Water. We have, except for Mr. Obey, Mr. Murtha, and myself, a relatively new group of people. Mr. Natcher and Mr. McDade, of course, serve ex officio. I would like to insert in the record at this point the actual jurisdiction of the subcommittee established under the rules of the full Committee on Appropriations. That will be confirmed at a meeting sometime on Wednesday. [The information follows:] House of Representatives. Joint Items. LEGISLATIVE BRANCH Architect of the Capitol (Except Senate items).
