I will rise in support of this amendment. We have previously with the Gallegly amendment made a reduction in some of the funding so that the dollars are available for this purpose, and as has been pointed out, there has been a commitment that has been made to fund in this compact this aid. This has been an informal agreement that has been made through the years between the Territory, and the administration, and this Congress, and for that reason I do support the funding. I would, however, note that in doing this we do use all the remaining dollars from the amendment that was struck and that this puts us right at our total allocation.
