I appreciate the work my colleague has done on this funding bill, and I think we certainly agree on the funding that is in the bill. That is not what the debate we are having is about. I ask the Senator from North Dakota if he has heard…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for 3 more minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Mr. President, I point out to my colleague that Senator Mikulski and I have introduced a clean bill that addresses funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The fact is we find ourselves in this situation on the appropriations bill…
