On the recordJuly 31, 1996
Let me add one comment and one thought to what the Senator from Indiana said. All but three or four of the States which would lose money if this allocation were made according to the amendment are States which already are ahead of the game. They are donee States-- three or four. Those of us that are donor States, so-called, there are 20 of us. When we look at this kind of amendment and see that, it obviously makes us somewhat skeptical. Again, most of the States by far that would be on the giving end are the same States that already are, under the formula, on the giving end. That may be a coincidence. It may be that the alleged error happened to work out that way. But I want to join the Senator from Indiana in expressing the sensitivity of the States that already give much more than they get back under the formula. My question to the Senator from Texas is this: Can he state for the Record what those three findings are?
