“While very, very sensitive to local government unfunded mandates, we have a threshold. It is $56 million. This is a normal course of business, as both my colleagues, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Barr) and the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Tiahrt), have pointed out in their opposition to this point of order. Most important, I have also cited in my opening that on page 111 of the report, which we are going to consider as the rule is hopefully passed and the legislation is before the House, where $30 million under section 9 in the formula for funding will go to the District of Columbia's Metro system. That money is eligible for signs and other important aspects of how this legislation has been created within the appropriations bill. I urge that we proceed forward so that we may continue consideration of this important legislation. An aye vote is a vote for continuation of the consideration of the resolution. I urge an aye vote as we move forward from the point of order on to the rule and then to the legislation.”
