Madam President. I rise to express my disappointment with where we find ourselves on the pending bill. We are debating the Homeland Security appropriations bill. The bill includes over $14 billionspelled with a "b"-for border security. By a vote of 89 to 1. we just approved $3 billion in emergency funding for border security. I note that the bill also includes $1.7 billion for FEMA disaster relief to help fund the response to Hurricane Katrina. The Senator from Louisianawhere is he? Do you want to hear me? Come on out. I want to say it in front of you. The Senator from Louisiana is now holding up this bill over a legislative matter that is not germane to the measure.
