On the recordApril 15, 2002
Well, my problem is, if you multiply the $743 million by 3, that is going to be roughly $2.1 billion. And yet the figure that has been used on this floor for the third year is $3.1 billion. So right there we are $1 billion short. So my question is, How do we bridge these gaps? How do we assure the Senate today that we will be able to appropriate that kind of money? And if we do not appropriate that money, these deadlines are not going to be met, I don't believe.
