“the amendment is very straightforward. It applies to the Office of Administration and the White House itself. However, in the unanimous-consent request, it simply stipulates that it must relate to the White House Travel Office which is a subcategory of the Office of Administration. What I am trying to accomplish, I am trying not to be redundant. Since there is already a proposal within the legislation itself to compensate the Travelgate victims, I am simply reducing the amount from the Office of Administration and the White House. They have full purview to go to the Office of Travel and take the money from there if they so desire. I see no inconsistency with the unanimous-consent request.”
