Barbara Lee said "This is a modest approach that would ensure that Congress doesn't reward the Pentagon with even more money after it failed its first agency-wide audit last year. Recent polling shows that a majority of the public does not want defense spending increased. Nearly three-quarters of Americans would not support more of their tax dollars going to the Pentagon. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this critical amendment, and we must move forward and at least begin to control this out-of-control defense spending and support this amendment. I ask for an ``aye'' vote. The CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
