Mr. President, I thank my colleague from Connecticut for his intense effort to defend the civil rights of citizens--not only of his State but all Americans--and for the truth he speaks that, when you have anonymous officers in war gear…

Thank you. You made the point about lack of identification. I have here the picture of how these have been deployed. I will make sure you can see it as well. Many are in camouflage--the generic police, with no sense of what agency they are…

For clarification, will my question be credited to my colleague's time, and can I ask unanimous consent that that it be credited to his time? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Young). If the Senator for Connecticut yields for a question, it comes…
