Mr. President. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment. It increases the number of Customs and Border Protection officers by 275 for a total of 1.000. In my home State of Texas. where the Port of Houston is the sixth largest port in the world. we have officers who have to leave the port at noon and go out to the airport. Because of this. we dont have enough officers to cover our ports. This amendment will add just 275 officers for a total of 1.000 new officers. I think this is an amendment that is very important to add for the overall security of our ports.
