All it says is that the grants that the Department of Justice has allocated pursuant to the authority that we have given that department for police departments in Ohio in the chairman's state, that those grants be held harmless, that these grants that [the Department of Justice] had managed to cut to local police departments, that they be reinstated. That's it. That's all. This amendment does nothing else. Will the gentleman yield for a minute. One of my Republican colleagues, or is it. Nope. Sorry. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean. (02:56–03:22)
