I strongly urge adoption of this amendment. It is the right amendment. We certainly want our intelligence community to do its job, but we also want them to be very conscious of the decisions that they are making and are in line with our…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 36, line 25, strike ``and''. Page 37, line 7, strike the period and insert ``; and''. Page 37, after…
I completely agree and sympathize with his plight, in terms of the earned income tax credit and the insufficiency of compact impact aid.
I certainly have a similar concern, where, essentially, the healthcare funding goes through the roof because many, many of the compact country folks come to Hawaii.
I think it merits thinking about this outside of the box, compared to a small office within the Department of the Interior.
We cannot absorb that level of economic consequence and continue to support the compact, overall.

We have a role to play in this, and we have programs in Hawaii that have been funded to that effect in Hawaii.
