fornia. Mr. Chairman. it gives me great pleasure to be involved in this bipartisan amendment with my friend from Oregon. The amendment addresses a dangerous flaw in our current system. Under current practices. Customs and Border Protection does not receive the names of passengers on board international flights bound for the U.S. until after the flight is in the air. as the gentleman explained. When CBP finally gets the passenger manifest. it sends it over to the Transportation Security Administration. TSA. so they can compare it against the terrorist databases. At that point. if they find a name match. there is no way to reconcile the situation.
