I would only like to correct, however, one statement that was made, and that is with respect to the administration's request for the National Science Foundation for fiscal year 1995, and that request, in fact, was for a budget of $3.2 billion. That is a 6-percent increase over the budget for the current fiscal year. That is the number that is contained in the committee bill which comes before us. I simply did not want the impression to be left that we were asking for a level of increase in the committee bill in excess of that recommended by the administration. Our number targets exactly that recommended by the administration and is consistent with it in every way.
