On the recordMarch 20, 2002
None at all, even though we know from historic experience it averages about $6 billion a year. Let me give credit to our chairman, the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle). Last year he wanted to baseline that amount of money. He wanted to take the historic average and put it in the budget every year so we would not have a supplemental that would add it in later. The appropriators and some others did not like that idea, and he ultimately lost and he simply dropped it this year. But you may as well get ready, it will be there. We will have to spend that amount of money. You will have to add it to the bottom line.
