On the recordJuly 23, 1996

Reclaiming my time, that is just not correct. We already have reduced the amount they requested by $70 million, as I said, for that very reason. Some of the prisons were slipping on the opening time. We are accounting for that. We reduced their budget by $70 million below what they wanted. We cannot take any more. The Mollohan amendment already takes $45 million. The gentlewoman would take another $14 million. We simply cannot accept that. We do not have the money.
