Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again to match the funds that we've got in the first part of the bill, now we need to change the schedule. I move, that the schedule to Bill 3 be amended to

(a)decrease by $149,000 the appropriation amount set out in Part 2, item 17, "Education, Culture and Employment", by striking out $9,077,000" and by substituting "$8,928,000":

(b) decrease by $149,000 the amount set out in Part 2 as "TOTAL APPROPRIATION FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT EXPENDITURES", by striking out "73,980,000" and by substituting $73,831,000"; and

(c)decrease by $149,000 the amount set out at the end of the schedule as "TOTAL APPROPRIATION", by striking out $997,971,000" and by substituting $997,822,999".
