I think that is a general sentiment here. I guess the question then comes down to where are we going to get the money? The Senator is right. I do take it out of 050. I have indicated to him in my remarks that it should come from the ballistic missile defense fund and that portion which is the star wars program, not the theater missile defense. That whole star wars program goes from $1.2 to $1.21 billion, and that is where I propose the money come from. I am still a little uncertain as to where the Senator from Washington will get his money to put into the Edward Byrne program. I understand what he says; that he was going to get portions from every function; a little bit out of every function. Well, does that mean some of it will come from education? Will some come from health care? Will some come from the National Institutes for Health, which we are trying to fund to put money into basic medical research? Would some of this come from job training? Where would it come from?
