On the recordFebruary 12, 2004
I do think that is sort of an elementary item you might want to know when you bring a bill to the floor of the Senate, by what amount do you exceed the budget, especially when you ask to waive the budget. The bill exceeds the budget by somewhere in the vicinity of $24 billion, I believe was the Senator's statement, on the EPW side, and $2-something billion on the Commerce side. I am not quite sure why we should be waiving the budget on that size number. That is a big number: $24 billion.
