Lincoln Diaz-Balart: “While I know and I am absolutely certain that the gentleman from New Jersey's heart is in the right place…”

On the recordJune 3, 2015
While I know and I am absolutely certain that the gentleman from New Jersey's heart is in the right place, unfortunately, I cannot support the offset. The committee carefully calculated the New Start numbers to be able to accommodate the signed FFGAs and Small Starts Grant Agreements at the beginning of the fiscal year, and I am a firm believer that once you sign a grant, once you make that commitment, we should honor it. This reduction would impact those signed agreements, so I reluctantly oppose this amendment. With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price), the ranking member.
