“The function 920, as I understand, is essentially the overhead across the board from a number of different agencies. So it comes out of administrative overhead, travel, et cetera, and I believed that funding these essential programs for the military was more important than that. So I challenge the agencies to find that funding to support this amendment. It is similar to what has happened in the past. We had several amendments last year that took substantial amounts out of function 920 in order to increase programs.”
