Ms. HIRONO. Mr. President, when the Senate considers the rescissions bill, H.R. 4, it is my intention, along with Senators Peters, Blunt Rochester, and Reed, to make a motion to recommit the bill to the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate with instructions to report the same back to the Senate in 3 days, not counting any day on which the Senate is not in session, with changes that--(1) are within the jurisdiction of such committee; and (2) would ensure that no recipient of funds from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that is designated as a Primary Entry Point, National Primary, State Primary, State Relay, State Relay Network, Local Primary, or Participating National (as those terms are defined in section 11.18 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations) in the Emergency Alert System would lose funding as a result of the rescissions in the bill.
