Those who advocate transparency. in my view would do well to follow a policy of putting in earmarks at the committee level. and then having them debated here on the floor. I hope that as the appropriations process goes forward with other items of legislation beside homeland security. that we can follow that rule so that we would get much greater attention and focus and. in my view. transparency on earmarks. In closing. I want to reiterate my support for the Blackburn amendment that will increase funding for the fence and for border security. and take it from certain other administrative areas in the Department of Homeland Security.
