“Mr. Speaker, my staff contacted the committee. They were told two copies were available in the anteroom. Beyond that, we know that the process is preloaded. I have just reviewed the list of amendments that are being allowed. There is not one single amendment that would cut $1 from any program. There is not one single amendment being allowed that would review the efficiency or the effectiveness of the procurement program. This has been going on for years here on the floor of the House. Members can take the amendments up there and they will not be allowed to talk to them on the floor. The only amendments here on the floor are going to be amendments that enhance the spending under this bill.”
