“I just wish to address the two concerns that have been raised by those who are critical of this amendment. Those issues are time and money. They raise the suggestion that all we need now is more time and more money. I simply remind them of the fact that this committee has had, quite honestly, literally months, over a year, to work on it. I would ask for a show of hands. Who would ever expect we would get a better bill out of committee on this? I do not think time will solve the issue. The other portion is money. Those on the other side also object, all we need is more money. I would remind them of the fact, if we could get more money, where will that money come from? All those people who are donor States please raise your hand, because it will be coming from us, the donor States. Time and money is not the solution.”
