For those Members who might argue we should not be reducing this function below what was reported by the Senate Budget Committee. I point out that the Republican budget includes significantly more funding under function 600 in the years 2001 and 2002 than the Presidents budget that we voted on last week. Specifically. over those 2 years the Republican budget currently exceeds the Presidents budget in the following areas: Lowincome housing. $4.26 billion more. refugee and entrant assistance. $189 million more. child care and development block grants. $330 million. the WIC program. over $1 billion more. and the Commodity Assistance Program. $66 million more. In other words. even after the amendment we would plan to bring tomorrow is adopted. the Republican budget will still provide more funding for these programs within the 600 function than the budget that the President has offered. At the same time. it would give us the ability to fully fund the violent crime trust fund.
