fornia. Madam Chairman. my amendment is a very small and simple refinement to this piece of legislation. but I think it is a very important refinement and will dramatically strengthen the CustomsTrade Partnership Against Terrorism program. or what we call CTPAT. Currently. there are about 5.000 companies that have submitted written security plans that Customs Border Protection has reviewed and certified. This certification qualifies shippers to be fasttracked through our ports. Here is the problem: of those 5.000 companies. only 1.200 have had their plans validated. meaning that the Customs has actually gone to those sites to ensure that what the company wrote they were doing about security measures has actually been implemented.
