This is what the $150 million is going to go for. This is a bunch of federal bureaucracies to carry out an Executive order that this Congress never approved. This is not about stopping Sandy relief, this is not about putting roofs back over people's head, this is not about providing food and sustenance for anybody, this is not about rebuilding our roads and bridges, this is not about preventing future storms. This is about just growing a Federal bureaucracy that was never authorized by this Congress. With that being said, I think it's a clear amendment. It does not stop Sandy relief. I would urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey does have 2 minutes remaining if he would seek recognition.
