Jim Sensenbrenner: “The majority accepts this amendment, and I would like to point out that it does have an offset so there is no increase…”

On the recordApril 24, 1997
The majority accepts this amendment, and I would like to point out that it does have an offset so there is no increase to the authorization of the bill. There is an offset from another section of the bill. I think that is the way we ought to be considering these amendments, and I would encourage the committee to adopt the amendment to the amendment.
