I think we all recognize that we don't need to be robbing from those very, very limited and meager pots of funding that could be used to help our victims.
It concerns me to such a great deal and again, the instance we are talking about is one of our regional hubs.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Cassidy). Without objection, it is so ordered, ____________________

I ask unanimous consent that my interns, Jasper MacNaughton and Holly O'Brien, be granted the privilege of the floor for the remainder of the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
