the main provision was to take the off budget proposal out. We have another insertion there that would allow any savings from the FAA from their appropriation to be used, half to go to bonuses for FAA employees and half to be applied to the deficit. This was simply a way to try to encourage some savings by a Federal agency as a way to help in a small way the deficit. But I can assure the gentleman we meant in no way to try to sneak this through or pull anything over on the Committee on Appropriations. I can assure the gentleman that we will work with the gentleman to remove any objections that either the gentleman from Virginia or the Committee on Appropriations would have in regard to this particular provision.
