Mr. EHLERS. Madam Chairman, I wish to clarify my comments made during debate on my amendment to reduce the U.S. Department of Labor's Departmental Management--Salaries and Expenses account and increase the U.S. Department of Education--School Improvement Programs' Mathematics and Science Partnerships program by $15.666 million. My amendment added Section 522 to H.R. 3043's General Provisions. It is my intention that all programs within the Labor Department's Departmental Management--
Salaries and Expenses account be within the Secretary of Labor's discretion to accommodate this reduction.
