The only thing I would ask the gentlewoman from Ohio and the gentleman from Virginia is: What are they going to do with the additional $97 million? What are you going to do with it? You have got $733 million sitting there right now that they can't spend. We have to have agreements with foreign countries to do nonproliferation work. Where are they going to spend it? I have been complaining--not complaining, but arguing, I guess--with Members for the last several years that want to put money in to show their support for nonproliferation: Why don't you just put more money into it? I ask them: What do you want to do with it? They can't tell you. By saying we increase the nonproliferation account, it shows we support nonproliferation. But you have got to have something you are going to do with it.
