On the recordSeptember 5, 1995
this amendment would adjust the funding for civilian personnel under strength in the Air Force Reserve. The Department of Defense made an error in verifying the degree to which various accounts were overfunded. In response to my inquiry, the Department reconsidered its report and determined the figure for the Air Force Reserve should be $3 million in reductions, not $13 million as previously reported. This amendment would restore $10 million of the $13 million to the Air Force Reserve and reduce DOD funding by $10 million. I thank the Chair, and yield the floor.
