“I would like to pose a few questions relating to the Lott amendment, and also, of course, I am concerned about the effect on defense of the Exon-Grassley amendment which would be in the Budget Committee, and I believe that this amendment has some relationship to that. I suppose my first question to the chairman of the Budget Committee and to the Senator from New Mexico, the ranking member, would be whether this amendment, the Lott amendment, continues the cuts that were made in the Budget Committee in the discretionary account which I believe were $43 billion in budget authority and $26 billion in outlays. Do those remain in the budget resolution if the Lott amendment passes?”
