I think you can easily come to the conclusion that the sensible. wise course for the American people tonight is to take this $400 million out of foreign aid that we have already saved and assign it to getting highways where they need to be and mass transit where it needs to be." Now people have said to me. "Well. what if we assign this money to that? What if an emergency comes up in foreign aid?" Well. obviously we can deal with that. and we will. If the President comes and says there is an emergency here or there. loan guarantees. something happens with refugees. we need to do something. obviously we will figure out a way to do it. But let us not shackle ourselves by walls that were put up 2 years ago. by decisions we made 2 months ago. if now we have saved more money than we thought we were going to save. Surely we have the capacity to take this money and spend it on a great need.
