I oppose the amendment as well, Mr. Jefferson. The State of Louisiana has already received $6.2 billion in CDBG for reconstruction efforts. And yet, the State of Louisiana has yet to submit a plan for the funds, which is required by law. HUD has been working with the State to craft a reasonable and rationale plan, and we hope to have a better idea of their needs and a recovery plan very soon. In addition, we are providing an additional $4.2 billion in CDBG to further assist the gulf coast States affected by the hurricanes in 2005, and this includes Louisiana. I am confident that Louisiana will receive funds from this bill. And so, again, I repeat, I oppose the amendment on that basis.
