Chip Pickering: “The controversy here is over the allocation of whatever funds are…”

On the recordJuly 22, 1998

The controversy here is over the allocation of whatever funds are available.

We would like to work going into conference, work with the administration, work with the working groups to see if there is a better way of allocation that would still try to address the needs.
