On the recordJune 19, 1996
Just to put the figures into perspective, if we look at the three basic divisions that are in this bill, we are talking about State grants and weatherization, DOE, industrial programs in DOE transportation programs. The State grants and weatherization, what we are talking about here, the changes that would be made from 1995 to 1996, excuse me, from 1995 to 1997, it has been cut 46.31 percent. On the DOE industrial programs, it has been cut 26.81. On the transportation programs, 22.21. We are talking about equity here as far as when we are talking about the difference between 22 and 46 percent, that is a major difference, and we are talking about just making up some of the difference, that is all. It is not a major thing.
