President. while we are awaiting representation on the other side of the aisle In order to get the yeas and the nays. let me respond to the Senator from Texas about her amendment. First. let me acknowledge the work of the Senator from Texas on port security issues over the past few years. Her amendment would increase the minimum hiring of Customs and Border Protection officers in the resource allocation model of the legislation before us from 725 to 1.000. As the Presiding Officer is aware. our bill requires the Department to do a resource allocation model. really take a hard look at how many CBP officers are needed at which port. One reason we believed that was necessary was the experience of Houstons 52.
