I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances

The finance committee has been given authority to determine what to do as far as do we tap the reserves or make uniform proportionate cuts. We are looking at tapping the reserve as part of a possible solution.

Budget and Finance has broad authority with relation to financial matters.

As a mark of respect for the memory of Rosa Parks, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, that on the day of her interment, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff,

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.

This would enable the authority to set a ceiling on the amounts it is willing to insure,
