I am also pleased this bill includes funds for ongoing work of the Coast Guard as it relates to the war on terror and addresses an unexpected shortfall within the Secret Service based on increased protective operations driven by the latest terrorist tactics and the current threat environment. As reported by the full committee. this bill is free of extraneous matters. and I believe it is important that we maintain that clean bill of health. I suspect there will be attempts to add additional funds to areas deemed critical such as port security. border and immigration security. nuclear nonproliferation. first responders and aviation security. I would remind my colleagues that the 2007 appropriations cycle is already upon us. I believe debate on these very important issues should be reserved and considered within the context of the regular appropriations cycle in which we are engaged even now.
