It took 15 years in Brevard County to develop this formula and this agreement. This amendment would set back years of work. I strongly encourage all of my colleagues to keep the faith that has been established between the Federal Government and all of these communities throughout the country. The provisions, the language that the chairman and the ranking member have put in this bill, I think, are very wise in grandfathering the existing programs under the current formula; and I would encourage all of my colleagues to reject this amendment.
