I thank the Chairman. and I thank the gentleman for clarifying for me his amendment. Part of the concern that I have is we just recently settled with the family in Redford. Texas. $1.9 million for the death of their son. who died as a result of an incident along the U.S.-Mexican border which. unfortunately. was involved with specifically military units on the border patrolling in assistance to law enforcement. I have the background of 261/2 years of Federal law enforcement on the U.S.Mexican border. I am very concerned about periodically the attempts in this House. in the peoples House. to put forth a policy. a law. a procedure. or a process where we would make such a situation where military troops would be on our border to help law enforcement.
