STIMULUS PACKAGE -- (Senate - February 12, 2009)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I have always been a steadfast supporter of Federal funding for museums and the arts in New York and across the country. When I voted in favor of Senator Coburn's amendment No. 309 to H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, I thought the amendment was only targeted to casinos and golf courses and was not aware it also included museums and other cultural centers. The arts community knows they have had--and will certainly continue to have--my full support.
