On the recordMarch 22, 1994
In other words, this Senator at this point does not know whether or not Senator Harkin will prevail. Part of my amendment will depend on whether it prevails or does not prevail. I will put up one form of it. But if his prevails, I wish to substitute the second form for it. The effect will be the same. If Senator Harkin's wins and mine loses, the Byrne grants come out of star wars. If mine wins after his, it displaces his and the money comes out of the allowances with the intention that it be in the furnishings account.
