17-9. B. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party. Here, the scheduled projects are those which are not cancelled. If most of the scheduled projects - i.e. not cancelled projects - which are identified as wasteful were in the districts controlled by the President's party while most cancelled projects are from the districts controlled by opposition partyes, it implies that these projects are handled to benefit to the districts controlled by President's party. It will contradict to what the secretary said - "So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics." So the secretary has to make this assumption in order to make her conclusion true.
