place on july 18th, you haven t heard any concerns about the lack of allied funding as a reason for why the hold should be in place. i did not hear that, and i don t recall hearing that. the only reason i heard was the president s views on corruption. got it. same question for you, secretary hale? can you repeat the question? you didn t hear about the lack of allied funding as a reason for the hold? no, i never heard a reason for the hold. i assume neither of you heard any reason whatsoever for why the hold was in place except for the fact that omb put it in place at the direction of the president, right? that s correct. and i assume one of my colleagues brought up the idea that the hold was put in place to assess whether or not president zelensky was legit. i assume that was not a reason that was offered either.
and the legislation the congress passed continued resolution to do that, is that right? so the remainder that we re in the process excuse me, the remainder. because of the provision in the continuing resolution. right. but for literally an act of congress you couldn t spend all of the money? if we had not received the provision in the continuing resolution, we would have obligated 88%, but not the full amount. right, which of course would be a violation of law to not spend money that congress appropriated. sir, i am not a lawyer, but that is my understanding. sure. thank you. secretary hale, where were you born? ann arbor, michigan. and is your family from ireland, am i right about that? no, sir. i m sorry. strike it. another question, with respect
