                          HON. ERIC FINGERHUT

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 24, 1994

  Mr. FINGERHUT. Mr. Speaker, I was not present during part of the 
House session on Wednesday, May 18. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on Congressman Bryant's amendment to H.R. 4301, defense 
authorization for fiscal year 1995, requiring the President, over a 3-
year period, to secure burdensharing agreements with NATO member 
nations and Japan requiring those nations to assume all costs incurred 
by the United States related to the presence of U.S. military personnel 
in those countries. All savings would have to be used for deficit 
reduction.
