On the recordOctober 3, 2002
Mr. Speaker, what we are dealing with today is not a tax bill, it is not a budget resolution, and unfortunately, it is not even an appropriations bill, one of the 13 regular bills; it is a continuing resolution that just continues the same CR that we passed last week. It merely extends the date, it does not change anything else. Some things have been raised here today that have to do with the Committee on the Budget. I thought I might want to respond to that. For example, it was suggested by a member of the Committee on the Budget that we were going to rebuild the Pentagon twice. That is not true. We are not going to do that. First of all, the money to rebuild the Pentagon was in the initial $40 billion emergency supplemental that we passed in a bipartisan way with the help of the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) to fight back against terrorism, to recover in New York, and to rebuild the Pentagon, so that was in that bill.
