I really hardly think that delays raise too many red flags. Again. I will just point out to the distinguished Senator one of the problems we had was that many Senators had programs they wanted increased. To accommodate some of the things like the Centers for Disease Control. NIH. alcohol and drug abuse. mental health. lowincome home energy. refugee assistance. student financial assistance. to compensate all those. the only way we had under the budget agreement was with the delayed obligation. Since it has been done before. there is nothing illegal about it. It is perfectly permissible. no points of order lie.
