It includes veterans medical care and pensions. it includes guaranteed student loans. it includes firefighting. migration and refugee assistance. international peacekeeping. trade adjustment assistance. payments to States for foster care and adoption assistance and processing tax returns. May I also explain in the limited time that I have that much of the cause for this supplemental comes because this time last year our friends on the other side of the Capitol. at the last minute. asked us to cut the budget for discretionary budget authority by $1.900.000.000. It was agreed to on the House side primarily because they expected to take care of the supplmental.
