In reference to the argument of the Senator from Montana, Congress has allowed the administration to make similar decisions on rescinding funds in 1999, 2004, and twice in 2008, while our friends on the other side of the aisle were in control of Congress.

The question is on agreeing to the motion of the Senator from Nebraska. The yeas and nays are ordered. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
