On the recordMay 15, 2003
We added the tuition provision in the bill 2 years ago, and it is obviously supported by a broad number of people in the body. The problem is that this addition is way too expensive and comes out of the top rate reduction from the bill that is on the floor, the acceleration of the marginal income tax rate provision of the bill. Obviously, we have to oppose this particular amendment. This is a matter that could be dealt with in a different way but not by paying for it in the manner it is paid for. It is not germane. Therefore, I raise a point of order under 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
