I understand there is a great demand throughout our Nation for State veterans' homes, and I wish we had the allocation to provide more for this program than we did. I do want to raise a concern with the language that it might--I say ``might.'' I am not saying ``definitely''--favor some States rather than increase funding for the entire State HOME Program. I was pleased to hear the gentleman state that he is not trying to jump ahead of other States that may be in line, but this is an issue that we are going to have to discuss at the conference committee. I am not going to object to the amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
