Is it possible that more lives were taken by Hurricane Katrinaa storm that we knew was coming for several days before it hitthan on September 11. 2001. when we were attacked without warning? What is being done to locate these persons and discover if they are living or if their lives were taken in the storm? It is no surprise that Congress is required to force action on border security when we consider how the Bush administration has performed. I support the additional funding for border security in these amendments. though I do so with the regret that the Bush administrations lack of leadership on this critical issue has brought us to this point. Many of the items are the types of expenditures that we are now categorizing as "emergency spending" because of more than 5 years of neglect and incompetence in making them part of our regular budget and spending priorities as they should have been. I conclude by commending the Democratic leader for his amendment.
