Mr. Chairman. I will not use the entire minute. but just to respond briefly. the Martin amendment does not cut those programs. In fact. by definition. it provides for current services continuation at the same level of those programs. I will read you simply from the committee report in one section. on page 9. of the part C special volunteers. which would by necessity be eliminated without the Martin amendment. "Current projects include a runaway youth program. a drug prevention program. a refugee assistance program. placement and counseling services. and a literacy program." What the gentlewoman is proposing is that we do not tie the hands of appropriations and we continue to fund those programs and not mandate the additional appropriations in the VISTA Program.
