In his closing remarks, the gentleman suggested that if the Metro stop at the Pentagon costs $10 billion, perhaps we should close it. It doesn't. It doesn't cost $10 billion, and it doesn't cost that money to the Department of Defense. We can debate and we can disagree on facts. We should not use exaggeration during debate in the House. I am adamantly opposed to the gentleman's amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
