If I could ask the gentleman from Missouri, because I appreciate you said the key word of ``priorities.'' Before we actually deal with our priorities, we have to look at what is in this budget and what isn't in this budget, and I think what the gentleman from Texas is going to show is we could have done better for the American people in this proposed budget, and we must. The status quo is not acceptable. The way we've been doing things is not acceptable. There has to be a better alternative. {time} 1930 I would be happy to yield.
