Mr. Chair. I yield myself the balance of my time. The government already has a plan to send excess equipment to law enforcement. What this bill does is prioritize that equipment to the Border Patrol. For those concerned about national spying that takes place in the United States. which they claim. they would support this because its priority is to the border. It is not to other agencies. The gentleman from Laredo said it best. Mr. Chair. believe it or not. we cooperate with the Mexican Government. and they get information from us when we use those aerostats over the border. and they capture the bad guys before they come into the United States.
