Steve King said "Yes, Mr. Chairman. I point out that the language of the amendment merely requires the Federal official administering these funds to comply with Federal law. A new duty is not required in the face of the amendment, and because we are simply asking them to comply with current Federal law, I don't adjust that at all in this amendment. There is no policy change other than the requirement to comply with existing law that passed in 1996. The CHAIRMAN. Are there other Members desiring to be heard on the point? If not, the Chair is prepared to rule. The Chair will judge the amendment on its face. It proposes to limit funds for a specified set of activities. The amendment does not impose new duties and, therefore, constitutes a valid limitation. The Chair would note that the same amendment was ruled in order on May 17, 2005. The point of order is overruled. The gentleman from Iowa has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
