I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 71, line 19, after the dollar amount insert ``(reduced by $2,000,000)''. Page 72, line 20, after the…

At the moment. Mr. Speaker, again, there is no donee State. Arizona, over the last 4 years or 5 years, got $1.07 for every dollar they put in. There is no such thing as a donee State anymore. Now, it is true, as Mr. Flake says, that that…
