“The manager of this bill and the Senator from Iowa have done a good job in constructing this $91.7 billion bill, and they have included things regarding health and education. There is nothing more educational for the American public than to do a good job for public broadcasting. As I said earlier, the sales of the donor lists were brought about because of the financial pressure on these institutions. I do not condone that, and I agree with the language of the report which does not condone that. I suggest this is money well spent out of $91.7 billion. This money is a mere pittance and it would be very important to spend to help the American public.”
