We did just vote to go to conference. I would like to see the conference be able to deal with this issue. In the Ebola funds, there is still $1.2 billion left in the Ebola funds. There is still $1.2 billion left in the Ebola fund. This is $510 million that was to be used for things like reimbursing hospitals that would have an influx of Ebola patients in this country, which never happened, and other issues. The administration has said they do not need this $510 million for Ebola. They clearly would like to use it for other purposes, and in fact have used $510 million for other purposes. I would urge a ``no'' vote.
