I know my colleague is aware the high-threat areas were not just New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania when the last round of money was given out. I know my colleague is aware that 30 cities got special money because the cities had special needs, including Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Newark, San Diego, Phoenix, Baltimore, Dallas, Buffalo, St. Louis, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Sacramento, Honolulu, Pittsburgh, Long Beach, New Orleans, Memphis, Cleveland, Tampa, Seattle, New York, Washington, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The high-needs areas are not simply in three States, they are in special areas. I ask my colleague two questions. Was he aware that 30 cities got this money? And this year we are putting less money into high needs than last year.
