A motion to recommit wastes Federal taxpayers' dollars. It is a waste of good taxpayer dollars, and you may wish to put the money savings elsewhere, but I am sure that no one wants to waste taxpayers' money. It has been pointed out by the gentleman from Maryland and the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia that we will be paying people to do work that they are tremendously overqualified for; Grade 14s will be doing Grade 7 work. But more than that, we are going to be paying, under a RIF, for appeals processes and a whole bunch of other things that come into Federal employees' rights which wastes money. Again, a motion to recommit is a waste of the taxpayer dollars. For those people who are truly serious about using the tax dollars that we are given wisely, I urge you to vote against the motion to recommit and vote in favor of this conference report.
