             CONGRESS HAS AUTHORITY FOR SPENDING THE MONEY

  (Mr. CHAMBLISS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I came here with a 1-minute speech on 
unfunded mandates, but as I just listened to my colleague from the 
other side of the aisle, I cannot help but ask one question. That is: 
How much money can the President of the United States spend? The 
Congress of the United States has authority for spending money.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. CHAMBLISS. No, I will not.
