On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
The funds which are proposed to be rescinded in the Senate bill are, in fact, a portion of the fiscal year 1993 appropriation that carried over to the current fiscal year. The committee has been advised that these funds are not needed to maintain the current program level. Senator Inouye can assure the Indian tribal governments and Indian people who receive such assistance that the rescission contained in this measure is not intended to diminish the current level of commodity foods available to them.
