Pete Domenici: “How big does a disaster have to be in terms of its outyear cost for you not to expect it to be paid for out of education…”

“How big does a disaster have to be in terms of its outyear cost for you not to expect it to be paid for out of education money and NIH money and others? How about the Alaskan earthquake? I assume we had 5, 6 percent of the entire budget of the United States in one or two of those years. Is that big enough? Or should we assimilate that and reduce education funding and NIH funding and all the other funds, highway funds?”
