Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to this amendment. It takes a meat-ax approach to cutting this bill by over $29 million with an across-the-board cut of 1 percent. I want to point out that it also exempts the Capitol Police and its buildings, as well as the Sergeant at Arms. If the gentlewoman, who I know offers these amendments over and over again, were truly committed to an across-the-board cut, then she would just simply offer an across-the-board cut. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the minority whip.
