We, again, have exceeded the President's rescission number. We have, again, indicated what we feel to be our imprint on this bill. Now we have to go to the House. We have to have conference with the House. And what the final bill will be it remains to be seen. But at this point the Senate Appropriations Committee has made this its recommendation, a lower figure than the President's rescission package. I want to join the chairman in urging a restraint on the matter of offering amendments. Let me just summarize this point. Any amendments to title II of the bill, which is the regular supplemental appropriation, will have to be offset. Any amendment that adds to title II will have to be offset. Let us also bear in mind that title I of the bill, which is the emergency supplemental, that has to qualify as an emergency.
