This is another partisan amendment that wastes more time on a bill that should go nowhere. Cutting $15,000 and taking away the Cabinet Secretary's ability to host Tribal members and other important dignitaries is just petty.

Mr. Chair, I oppose this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
