just briefly, to correct a point, there are no cuts for the homeless in this bill. There is an increase of $35 million. There are no cuts in section 8 housing vouchers, there is an increase of over $900 million. But if we accepted this amendment, it would cut HUD's information technology by 35 percent and make it very difficult for them to continue their operation. For that reason I oppose the amendment, and I urge a ``no'' vote.

I don’t think there’s ever a normal in the supply chain. I think it’s always been, you know, ups and downs.
