                     DOLE'S ANTIENVIRONMENT RECORD

  (Mr. MILLER of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, Bob Dole's first campaign 
swing through California had a chilling message for every voter who 
cares about the environment.
  Bob Dole endorsed Governor Wilson's Ward Valley nuclear dump, 
although the bankrupt developer has yet to build a radioactive waste 
facility without serious safety problems.
  Bob Dole endorsed the $2 billion Auburn Dam for Sacramento Valley 
developers, situated smack on top of an earthquake fault, ignoring a 
cheaper and more environmentally safe flood control alternative.
  Bob Dole endorsed logging of a giant ancient, redwood forest in 
violation of the Endangered Species Act to benefit a giant timber 
corporation.
  And Bob Dole embraced subsidized agribusinesses who refuse to share 
water with California cities, fisheries, wetlands, and refuges. No 
surprise, because Bob Dole's campaign manager is a lawyer representing 
the biggest subsidized growers and polluters in our State.
  This is Bob Dole's scorched Earth campaign for California's 
environment, designed by lawyers, lobbyists, and special interests. It 
will be rejected by California voters because Bob Dole is no friend of 
our environment.
