I would just like to clarify one point in the amendment that is being offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Solomon) where he is saying he is addressing the issue of the unfunded mandate. But what is somewhat ironic and I think somewhat hypocritical is that, where he is contending that this is an unfunded mandate, his amendment is actually putting that money back in the bill. If we really are concerned about that issue, then we should not have the money in that bill at all.
