On the recordSeptember 7, 1995
I appreciate her amendment, and I want to thank her for coming to the floor and offering her amendment. I do not know that this--as a matter of fact, I doubt that allocation amendments are the ones that will be readily agreed upon because some States win and some States lose. Allocation formulas are always contested in almost any type of bill like this, whether it is a highway bill or a welfare bill or other allocations. The allocation formula the Senator is proposing under her amendment would be identical to the one now currently in the House bill.
