Mr. Chairman, nowhere in this bill is the National Drug Intelligence Center either authorized or funded at all. That was changed a few years ago. It used to be funded from DOD. It's now entirely funded and authorized in the Department of Justice. This amendment has no business in this bill. It ought to be in the authorization or in, perhaps, the appropriations bill for the Department of Justice. The only reason that the parliamentarian might rule this germane is that the rule waives all points of order. Yet this should not be voted on. This should not be considered in this bill. It has nothing to do with this bill. It's authorized and appropriated in the Department of Justice bill. {time} 1930
