That is a far greater investment than is required for this legislation. I have made the case that we have already increased education considerably over the President's budget request. We have increased the medical research through NIH dramatically over the President's budget request. But we are not going to go to the $112 billion that this administration wants. We are just not going to do it. We have a responsibility to the people of America who sent us here to balance the budget, who sent us here to pay down the debt, who sent us here to give a little tax relief to our constituents, the taxpayers who have been overburdened; and, by God, we are going to do that. We have done it, and we are going to continue to do it. Mr. Speaker, I ask for a ``yes'' vote on this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Pease). All time for debate has expired. The joint resolution is considered read for amendment. Pursuant to House Resolution 669, the previous question is ordered. The question is on engrossment and third reading of the resolution. The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was read the third time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the joint resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
