I have two concerns about it. My original comments, when I saw the supplemental on this bill, went to the fact I did not think it should be on this bill. I did not realize the program had really gotten as far off course as it has, and been mismanaged as badly as the Senator just has stated. So it seems to me what we are doing is, by having this on the emergency supplemental, as the subcommittee in charge of oversight over the program that admits it has been out of control, that subcommittee will be able to get extra money to finance that mismanagement without it coming out of its appropriated, allocated amount by shifting it purely to debt, which is what the supplemental is going to be funded by, additional debt. I think it would be better frugal management if we could put it on next year's bill that you probably are already beginning to work on. That would be accountable under the budget.
