On the recordMay 22, 2002
My point is, I understand that is a legitimate concern, but my point is another concern. I am concerned about putting the integrity of the Federal budget process in jeopardy, and my problem is that when we are told that the loan that was not going to go through is now going to go through and yet we are going to save more money than we were to spend originally, that is sleight of hand to me, and it looks a little bit like Arthur Andersen accounting to me. So I do not understand how we can say this loan is going to go through and yet we are going to save three times as much money as CBO originally estimated. It does not compute and it also does not make clear what is going to happen to the airline, which is an overriding and justifiable question in the minds of many Members tonight.
