“I have not suggested the content. What I have suggested is that we are going to terminate public financing of public broadcasting by the year 1998, and all that my amendment does is to do that in a staggered way where those people can make easier adjustments than to take a 70-percent hit in their total budget in 1997. Mine is 33, 33, 33, so they can make the adjustments to the cutbacks. And the other point is it is not cultural elitism that I have argued about.”
