Postal Service Community Financial Lending Act of 2015 (Law'd)

[Talleyrand]

I concur with Senator Cranberry. Unless serious concerns are brought up later, I see no reason not to vote in favor of this bill.

[Talleyrand]

AYE

I agree with Windjammer that another amendment to cut down on the total funding should be introduced as soon as we pass this general framework though.

[Talleyrand]

All right. In the meantime, then, what are some numbers we can agree on?

$50 million for training and $75 million for services, including a new public outreach component (it's no use making these changes if no one knows about them)?

Both those numbers sound reasonable; I think we can effectively fund the DoIA's program without spending a half a billion.

[Talleyrand]

To counter Griffin's point, if the DoIA feels that the amount of funding is insufficient when this program is being implemented, we can always appropriate more at that time.

AYE
