“The allocations for the Institute of Museum and Library Services is obviously very important. We already have a very substantial allocation, as specified in the principal arguments last night. Here again, much as I would like to increase the funding on this important line--and as I noted as a personal matter, my sister, Shirley Specter Kety, is a professional librarian. I am going to have a little problem at home over this because she is watching the C-SPAN proceedings. But we have made as large an allocation as we can under the Budget Act and the allocation for this subcommittee. We already have $243 million in this account. Again, I wish we could do more, but that is the best we can do. That is why I have raised the point of order.”
