This initiative is an important one. It is almost unspeakable to have this size of inventory. some $185 million in assessment. languishing in warehouses under the name of the Transportation Security Administration. Over the years as a ranking member and chairwoman on Transportation Security and now Border Security. likewise I have joined my colleagues in fighting for small businesses because there lies technology. So this initiative to open the doors for the idea of a multiyear technology investment plan and underutilized innovation opportunities that can be provided in this area of security I believe is very important. and then of course to insist that 16 percent not be the number that we rely upon in terms of investment and opportunity for minorities and small businesses. I support this initiative. and I must at this moment add my support for the legislation dealing with insisting on an aviation security advisory committee.
