On the recordJuly 18, 2007
this amendment would strike $150,000 for the Burpee Museum in Rockford, Illinois, for educational programming and exhibits and, as mentioned, reduces the cost of the bill by a consistent amount. Now, I don't want to take a lot of time on these amendments. I know a lot of people want to move pretty quickly. Let me just say that I know the name, the Burpee Museum, lends itself to a lot of nice jokes about having dry heaves as a taxpayer and paying this or whatever else.
