We say we are behind them on Monday and we want to support them and get in behind and ask the community to change their attitude. That is on Monday. But on Friday. the thin blue line is not thin enough. we thin it out another 600 FBI agents. We cut 600 FBI agents out on Friday. We cut the Drug Enforcement Administration. You and I added to the Coast Guard. With all the Haitian and Cuban refugees. we have added responsibility with the 200mile extended limit. the poor Coast Guard with little kids out there. hard to handle. hardened criminals. doing an outstanding job. This Congress. in the face of cuts. added $300 million. But on Friday. we cut $263 million.
