norcross is recognized for one minute to close. rep. norcross: that is exactly what should we should be talking about, and how we can work together. talking about an $830 billion program with a $300,000 grant is bait and switch. why are we having that discussion? let's talk about how we can put americans back to work. there is a need here. we are going to pay for it, one way or another. it is going to happen, and the only way to prevent it is if you are prepared for mass blackouts when these infrastructures take a hit, do nothing. let's work together to get it done. i yield whatever time -- >> let me thank you for this amendment. i think we know that we need strong investments in our nation's infrastructure and -- from public transit, the electrical grid, high-speed cable. this republican budget cuts no way forward. we need to invest $3.6 trillion in infrastructure. >> the question is on a green to all those -- agreeing to the amendment by mr. norcross. in the opinion of the chair, the no ands have it. a recorded vote is requested. >> m

norcross, would you yield for a moment? i want to read from what this committee's policy was last year as reflected in the report from the committee. it said "abuse of the oco capped a justment is a back door loophole that undermines the integrity of the budget process. the budget committee will exercise its oversight responsibilities with respect to the use of oco gwot designation in the fiscal year 2015 budget process and it will opposeeppose increases above the level the administration and our military commanders say are needed to carry out operations unless it can be clearly demonstrated that such amounts are war-related. is that -- does that continue to be the policy in this budget? >> mr. chairman, mr. van hollen, i -- not to place a -- sword of the burden on jane here next to me. i think it's fair to say, though, which jane can provide much more of the technical details, i am not a defense expert, but i think what we're trying to say to mr. norcross' question, the president's request was a grand total of $612 billion

norcross: we had to find common sense with the republican governor if we were to make the budget pass that made sense. as a freshman here in washington, when we are asked to vote on a budget that makes no sense at all. we all agree that students are now saddled with too much debt and certainly my colleagues across the aisle want to cut $220 billion, freezing pell grants. that doesn't make sense. we all agree that we need to create jobs and to get businesses to re-invest here in america and best way to do that is invest here in ourselves in america. yet, their budget provides no new resources to upgrade our transportation and water systems, expand access to high-speed net or harden our electric grid. instead, i ask our colleagues to vote for the democratic alternative ta will provide tools for students and families that they will need to survive and succeed. create jobs by investing in research and infrastructure, properly fund a strong national defense and make good on our promise to our seniors by strengthening medicaid and social security. i ask you to vote for the democratic altern
