I wish our colleagues would vote favorably because I know they support almost all of this bill because it is good for the security of the American people at home. The one section. obviously. is the one that deals with the collective bargaining rights of transportation security officers. I sure hope we can continue to discuss this section: why we think it is fair. why we are totally convinced its implementation will have no adverse effect on public safetyno more than the collective bargaining rights of Capitol Police officers or local firefighters or police officers or members of the Border Patrol or other law enforcement agencies in the Department of Homeland Security in any way adversely affects the carrying out of the duties to protect the American people. Madam President. I also want to thank the chairman and ranking member of the Commerce Committee.
