I agree with your view that these funds could utilized for the type of infrastructure support you have described. If distressed communities in the Mississippi River Delta region are struggling to qualify for federal assistance due to their inability to provide the local match for infrastructure improvements, I think it should be one of the highest priorities for these funds to be applied in this way.

We may not know all the answers that you seek of us because we did not have a lot of time to study in detail the more intricate health care issues.
I think you raise a good point. We have to be careful about the issue you raised. It is a serious one.
I want to remind the committee again, and I will say it to you, Senator Snowe, remember, our package was put together by Democrats and Republicans, so we do not come here starting with one side or the other.
It would relate in some way to the process that you and I have learned and call reconciliation.
