We think actually we should not only have one but that we should have a fair number of UAVs on the border. The situation with the purchase and buildup of UAVs is that if we are to stay with the present budget projections. we wouldnt have the full compliment that we would need for 4 or 5 years. The amendment I offer today is an amendment to try to address the capital needs of border security in the Customs account. in the Coast Guard account. in the Border Patrol account. and in the ICE accountthe capital operational needs. not the people on the ground but the capital needs which are deemed to be in an emergency distress situation. Why is this justifiable on this bill? Because this bill is about defense. especially relative to terrorism.
