On the recordJune 30, 2000
Please rest assured that during conference, I will try to keep MIP funding at the Senate recommended level of $680 million. I understand the importance of the MIP program to the integrity of the Medicare Trust Funds and will work with my colleagues to ensure full funding of this program. Regarding the Medicare contractor budget, I am committed to the Senate Appropriations Committee funding recommendation of $1.244 billion and will work in conference to keep the Senate's funding level.
