i have seen in the seattle area and tacoma how much this has meant to the local communities. and this is a relatively small amount of money. when i was chairman of the committee, i increased it, but i never increased it in an amount that the republican ranking member could not also support. so, why didn't we put up the $250 million. we have an arts caucus in the congress that operates on a bipartisan basis and we have had on the floor over the years a multiple of votes. and we have had 40 or 50 enlightened republicans who have joined with us and made a good majority in support of these programs. and the humanities is also extremely important, literature and in education and helping art teachers. so i think these are worthy programs. i think the committee made the right decision here. i wish it was at $167.5 million and reduced it to $145 million. i think going further than that will do damage to both of these endocuments that have been both been there since 1965 in the johnson administration. and i think this would be a mistake. i support what the committee did and we should
