On the recordJanuary 26, 1996
reluctant as I am to disagree with my distinguished colleague from Vermont, the Senate is locked into the allocation. We are locked into the allocation which has been given to the subcommittee which has jurisdiction over these three Departments. If the amendment by the Senator from Massachusetts passes, there is only so much air in the balloon. If you take it out of one section, we are going to lose by 10 rac{1}{2} percent over everything else unless the allocation is increased.
