On the recordSeptember 8, 1999
Yes, but the NSF research at $246 million allocated for this, earmarked for this program, so it comes from this earmark and from nowhere else, and therefore the figures that I just gave, which is that this earmark out of that total appropriation is an earmark of $1 million greater than last year; what we are proposing here is to reduce that by $10 million, a reduction of $9 million from last year, 3.6 percent of one of the 13 Federal Antarctic programs in order to provide level funding from last year for people, for housing for people with AIDS so we do not throw people out on the street, and I think the choice should be clear, and I thank the gentleman again for yielding.
