“I thank my colleague. Senator Dole's proposal, I believe, is directed toward States that have significant increases in growth in poverty. And my guess is--I have not studied these charts--but he talks about the growth funds for States that have significant increases in poverty. Yours maybe is a little broader distribution. I will tell my colleagues that there is a dispute on both sides of the aisle. This is probably not a partisan amendment as such because people wrestle with distribution formulas, and trying to come up with most equitable formula is not always the easiest thing to do, particularly if they have a lot of inequities in past distribution formulas which we have had with different programs. But I, again, want to thank the Senator from California for offering her amendment and sending it to the desk. Does the Senator also have another amendment?”
