Bob BixbyHOST
Are they even gonna be able to do something between themselves, between the House and the Senate?

Thomas KahnGUEST
Well, it's a good question and you're, you're, y- built into your question is an important point.

Thomas KahnGUEST
One of the items that the, uh, Senate, uh, put into the, uh, CR was a freeze on, uh, this proposal by OMB to essentially give the administration wide authority to use political subjective decisions to make grants rather... uh, grants so that...

Thomas KahnGUEST
Typically, grant money is handed out, um, based on a whole series of, of, um, uh, criteria, w- where, uh, uh, there's certain factors that are delineated through either regulations or through statute.

Thomas KahnGUEST
Um, it's done through a process of expertise and, uh, it's done on a process of meritocracy.

Thomas KahnGUEST
But this OMB proposal would essentially, I- by some accounts, turn into a slush fund that, um, would give OMB wide berth to, uh, give out or deny grants because they don't happen to like the grantee for political reasons or whatever.
