On the recordJuly 17, 1995
the bill does not have any mention of NIPER. It only mentions it during the report language. The report language has specific line items for the institutions in West Virginia and in Pennsylvania. The language is only reflective of what the Committee on Science has already established, what the Department of Energy has already established. It is not creating anything. Frankly, the amendment does not specify where any cut would be made. It is trying to attack oil funding in general to protect coal.
