I hope the gentleman knows that we do support this program, despite the fact that it was not included in the President's budget. We did provide some $11 million for the program. We intend to support this program in conference. ... I realize that the administration only requested $28.5 million, and I certainly intend to put efforts into getting the administration to ask for more next year. I realize that the chairman has upped that by $10 million during the committee process. It is my great hope that the chairman can strive to reach, at least in conference, the $50 million level, which would maintain the current services.
