I commend both of our colleagues and their staffs for the hard work they put into crafting this legislation. The bill that passed the Senate funds our countrys homeland security activities at $32.8 billion for the upcoming fiscal year. These activities include port security. rail security. truck security. aviation security. emergency first responders. customs and border patrol. immigration. the Coast Guard. and counterterrorism research. Taken together. these initiatives form the foundation upon which our country depends for its internal security. In an age when terrorism continues to be a growing threat to our Nation. one would think that the Congress of the United States would be doing everything it could to shore up that foundationto make it as impregnable as possible against those who wish us harm.
