The only reason we are going with only $60 million is so we do not have to go out and seek offsets to get this money. The offsets to pay for the entirety of this amendment come from reducing the State prison money from $750 million in this bill to $729 million. The House bill only has $500 million in it. The President only requested $500 million. And the second piece comes from increasing the fees related to acquisition of green cards. So. there are the offsets. Senator BOND and Senator SPECTER and a number of my Republican friends. including Senator DEWINE. have spoken to pieces of this amendment.
