I, too, must say I have to reluctantly oppose the gentleman's amendment for the same reasons that the chairman has talked about, because I, too, would like to have increased the funding for research, just as I sincerely would have liked to increase the funding for conservation, just like we will have a later debate about increasing the funding for rural development. But as we live within the budget of $73.5 billion, these decisions were made; and I feel compelled to stay with the commitment at this point in time and encourage our colleagues to oppose the gentleman's amendment.
