I just want the Senator from Nevada to understand that the Senate minority Budget Committee prepared a draft of possible ways that the cuts could be made. These are not my priorities, and I did not distribute this. I would not make some of these cuts. I would have a different list of priorities. This amendment is an overall budget cut of the general Government function, and that is all. So it is a mistake, and I am sure it is just a misunderstanding to say that it is part of this amendment to make the cuts that the Senator is suggesting.
