The proviso that authorization allocations adopted by the conference Committee on the Budget resolution allows for it. Now, we all know there is nothing in the budget resolution that pertains to authorization. It pertains only to appropriations. Therefore, to have this language in here, which implies that something in the budget amendment would relate to authorizations for the National Science Foundation is a fiction, so that is not necessary either. I am happy to accept the gentleman's willingness to accept the amendment.
