grimm: we are making each other's point. you feel that the language of the president is somehow restricting non-union shops from bidding. and i firmly feel and strongly feel that the language in your amendment absolutely prohibits the use of p.l.a.'s. i think what we are both looking for is neutrality. but the language on either side is not working, so we need to come up with a way to make this neutral, so everyone can bid and no one is prohibited. but i think we are saying the same thing and we are working towards that and i will work with the chairman. but for now, my amendment is going to stand and we are going to work as quickly to see if we can come up with something we all agree with. mr. dicks: the best and safest thing to do is to defeat the flake amendment. that's kind of a standard -- that's the surest way of protecting the executive order. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from missouri seek recognition? >> mr. chairman, i move to strike

grimm: thank you, madam chairman. i rise today to offer a truly bipartisan amendment, with my good friends and representatives pierluisi, king and pascrell. this amendment is to fund the highly successful cops hiring program at the fiscal year 2012 level. this will ensure that we have sufficient police officers on our streets to prevent and to respond to crime and to keep our neighborhoods safe. our local police departments count on the cops' hiring program to help them hire additional officers to combat crime in our local communities and to provide true community policing. the money to fund the cops hiring program comes from reducing in a corresponding amount the appropriation for cross-agency support within nasa. an approach that was adopted by the house in the february, 2011, -- during consideration of that. although we do not in any way oppose the work of nasa that is funded through this offsetting account, we are determined to offer a budget-neutral amendment and to give the house an opportunity to work for robus
