Mr. SABO. Mr. Chairman, Congress has passed as much or more rescissions in total than Presidents have asked for, that in the budget process we have strict spending limits on appropriated dollars. I am curious if the gentleman could tell me, clearly, where the large growth in Federal spending has occurred is entitlement programs. How does this bill deal with either existing, expanded, or new entitlement authority?
Questioning the implications of a bill granting more power to the President during a budget discussion.

I am just curious, did the Speaker call for a vote, and did I hear some people vote aye? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not stating a pertinent parliamentary inquiry. The question is on the motion to table.
I will continue to reserve my point of order, and I move to strike the last word. Mr. Chairman, I would like to have the gentleman explain the amendment to me. What is it that somebody at the Federal level has to do?
Yes, I do. The CHAIRMAN. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order?
I was sitting here waiting for time to expire so I could cast a vote, and I heard the motion made by the gentleman from New York. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman have a parliamentary inquiry?
