Madam President. I urge my colleagues to support the EnsignMcCain amendment. Last year during the debate on the national intelligence reform bill. we adopted several of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. including hiring 2.000 agents per year for border control. This bill. while it is an increase over what the President requested. only funds 1.000 new agents. What our amendment will do is fund the full 2.000. It will fund an additional 1.000 on top of what the original bill does. The offset to pay for this does not increase the deficit. It is all paid for under the bill.
