Project. Funding has already been secured from private donors, not taxpayers. Most my proposal today doesn't involve any tax money. Congress doesn't need to reinvent the wheel here. I have a straightforward bill which I will move to pass in a moment to give this project clear legal authority to proceed. By passing my bill, we can help build the ballroom with no more legal delays, no more bureaucratic delays, improved reporting and progress updates from Congress, and no added cost to taxpayers.
