For the sake of legal and legislative clarity, I'd like to motion an amendment to the act as written. This amendment should change Section 4 to express that the requested $750 billion daler is a requested maximum total allotment from this and future years' budgets. That is, the full amount isn't requested up front, but is simply a legal guarantee that necessary funding requested for the project will be made available. It is an open-ended amount, but is in no way is it some blank check, as it doesn't waive the government from its due diligence in making sure the funds are spent wisely and appropriately.
