On the recordMarch 11, 1997
what the Senator said, as I understood him to say, we took away all your jurisdiction. That is not correct. As to the $4.53 million, it is there. As to the second allocation of funds in the nature of a supplemental, it is quite true the Rules Committee laid down in the resolution a more precise definition as to what you do with the second allocation of funding and that is restricted to illegal activities in the 1996 campaigns, Presidential and congressional. But the Senator made the statement that it took it all away. I am pointing out the distinction. No, no, it relates to the second allocation of funding.
