Madam Chair, I appreciate especially the ability of putting all these amendments into en bloc to help move this process along. I am just looking at some of the issues that have been brought up already, and I am looking at the list of the Federal grants and the agencies that are already spending their money on these approaches. If the issue is, obviously, you want more money spent on those programs, that is not an authorization that we are doing here. That is an appropriations issue. Go to the Appropriations Committee and talk about how that fits into the overall budget. This does not necessarily move us forward, but at least we are not spending as much time as we would if we addressed each of these individually. Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time.
