Mr. President. this morning. I gave my opening remarks for consideration of the fiscal year 2008 Homeland Security appropriations bill. The Appropriations Committee. by a vote of 29 to 0. has produced a balanced and responsible bill which needs action now. The bill includes significant resources for border security. for enforcing our immigration laws. and for improving security at our airports. We include significant new resources for implementing the SAFE Port Act. We also restore cuts in first responder grant programs. I thank Senator COCHRAN and his able staff for their support in producing this legislation. Just last week. the administration released its latest National Intelligence Estimate concerning the terrorist threat to the U.S. homeland.
