I just want to tell Mr. Chairman that I hope Mr. Price is listening because it is going to take a lot of truth squad to straighten this out. The chairman over here mentioned the Iraq spending and wanted to see how much we would cut it. Well, when the President sent down the emergency Iraq spending bill the Democrats went ``Yee-Haw,'' let's add $23 billion to it. So I want to quote what the chairman and the subcommittee chairman has said. ``Don't lecture me on spending on the war.''
