Again, I want to thank the gentleman from Tennessee and the others who have been a part of this. If we can't at least agree to take the money that agencies say they don't even want or can't even use and put that to deficit reduction, how on Earth will we ever move forward in the simplest possible terms? If this $107 million is left on the table, it will be spent on something. If we remove this contracting authority, it will not; and that will save the taxpayers money. That is the important thing. If we can't at least agree on these small steps, how are we going to take the big steps together? So I appreciate the cooperation on this bill to find $107 million, to take that off the table and to make sure that it does not get spent wastefully.
