My inquiry is this, Mr. Chairman. Can the Chair tell me how reducing one account by $57 million is not adequate to cover a $41,492,000 increase in another account? It is $15.5 million more we are reducing than the amount we are increasing. So my inquiry is, please, Mr. Chairman, explain how the increase of $41,492,000 is more than the $57 million reduction. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair based the ruling on the fact that the amendment increased budget outlays.
