Mr. Chairman. this is an issue that came up when our committee traveled to the border and had discussions with the Border Patrol. And what you are talking about here is striking language that gives some ability for comparing the expenditure of costs on one piece of intelligence equipment versus the other. And what the gentleman didnt tell you is that of all the assets on the border. this is the most expensive. $10 million. $8 to $10 million per unmanned vehicle. The other assets that are on the border. which everybody agreed was much more effective. is the new radar system. which costs about $700.000. that are portable.
