Terminate the superconducting super collider. $2.2 billion. the Appalachian Regional Commission. $600 million. the Economic Development Assistance Program. $800 million. the Advanced Solid Rocket Program. $1.7 billion. the mission to Mars. $600 million now but it goes to tens and perhaps hundreds of billions later on. HOPE 1 grants. $1.2 billion. State and local immigration assistance grants. $900 million. and environmental technical research. $700 million. The EPA Green Lights Programs is $160 million. I offered an amendment on the floor several days ago. about Green Lights. and I pointed out that it was a corporate welfare program.
