This bill provides $40 million for the Northern Border Regional Commission, the same as last year. This commission seeks to create jobs in distressed communities of the four-State northern region. While the impact to overall spending in this bill would be small, the impact felt by these communities would be large. Mr. Chair, I respectfully urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
