Madam President. let me say at the outset Senator COLLINS is my friend and colleague. and we have worked on many things together. I respect her especially because the Department of Homeland Security was literally her creation. along with Senator Lieberman and others. The fact that we have now agreed on a bipartisan basis to set aside this immigration debate and to fully fund this critical Department is the right thing to do. A 98to2 vote is unusual on the Senate floor. It reflects the fact that we finally reached that consensus on funding the Department of Homeland Security. I hope our vote later today also reflects that.
