It comes in the same trust fund that is created on page 872 of the bill. Mr. McCAIN. There is a finite amount of money that is authorized.

I think it is incredible that the Senator should stand there and say: Yeah, we are adding these thousands of personnel, but there is no additional cost. That is not possible.
