Excerpt / Summary

The author of yesterday’s amendment – Representative Cravaack of Minnesota – cited concerns of redundancy and misplaced priorities during the debate on the House floor that morning. Feeling that other institutions within the U.S. government already pursue peace, he deemed a specialized program fiscally unjustifiable. And in a repeat of the budgeting buzz-phrase, he emphasized that no agency is exempt from spending cuts.
