My staff informs me it would increase from $4,050 to $5,100 under the Senator's amendment, and that would increase the cost by 48.2 percent. It is not just the maximum amount of the award.

When there is an increase from $8.7 billion under our resolution to $13 billion--and looking at the Senator's amendment it would increase that amount from $13 billion an additional $4.9 billion.
