Dan Crenshaw: “I wish it were as simple as the gentleman suggests. But it is important to realize this amendment would literally reduce…”

I wish it were as simple as the gentleman suggests. But it is important to realize this amendment would literally reduce almost every program in the CDFI. And remember, these funding cuts would devastate some of our Nation's most distressed populations, including Native Americans and people with disabilities, people in rural communities.

The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
