Mr. Chairman. I rise in opposition to this amendment. This bill provides significant resources for border security programs and is currently balanced among the many competing homeland security priorities. This amendment significantly upsets that balance and undermines the Departments ability to effectively integrate its business systems. [ 1645 I have grave concerns about the offsets contained in this amendment. offsets that decimate DHSs management. Taking $40 million. almost half of the Secretarys budget. would effectively shut down all planning and management from DHS leadership. We have already reallocated $50 million from the Office of Under Secretary to operational agencies in the bill itself.
