I want Members to know right now we had a vote here, 92-8, on that bill to keep the food stamps for immigrants, to keep the crop insurance and the agriculture research altogether. In fact, there was a 77-23 vote on a Gramm of Texas motion to recommit--77-23. Let me make another statement, Mr. President. If that action takes place in the House, I can see no way that ISTEA could ever be passed here this afternoon before we go home on break.
