On the recordApril 2, 1998
Senator Wellstone, if you will look at the budget, what we recommended is precisely what you are saying in your sense of the Senate. We reinstated $153 million in veterans' programs that the President had cut. Your amendment would be totally redundant. I think what we could agree to here is that the amendment provides for an assumption that increases the level to the exact level you have recommended in your sense of the Senate. Thus, I don't think we need a sense of the Senate.
