I appreciate the very concise and accurate summation of this amendment. its purposes. and how it would affect spending by the Senator from Tennessee. I do think it is appropriate to respond even a little further on this issue. The purpose of this amendment is to basically give the people who are defending us on our bordersthe border security agents. the Customs agents. the Coast Guardthe tools they need to do their job right. which includes the airplanes. the unmanned vehicles. the boats. the cars. and the helicopters. That is clearly a critical element of our national defense in the fight in the war on terrorism. It has to be done.
