the total amount of funding goes into section 250. I say to the Senator, $1.44 billion goes into section 250. As I understand it, how that gets sliced up is probably beyond the ability of this particular budget debate to determine. It will ultimately come down, I believe, to a 302(b) allocation. But my recommendation is that the vitally important work of DOE be funded with an additional $469 million out of this function. There is another function--I believe it is 270--that also funds science.
