this is amendment No. 1298. It is the Pryor-Johanns amendment. I think the good news here is we have agreed to a voice vote. But basically what this amendment does is it requires the Department of Homeland Security, as they are doing their hiring to beef up the border, to hire veterans of our Armed Services. This is a win-win all the way around. Our vets have, as we know, a higher unemployment rate, but also they happen to be the best trained, the most disciplined. They have that can-do spirit. They are familiar with the equipment and they make great employees, as many of us know who hire veterans. We also know our veterans know how to complete a mission. So with that, Mr. President, I wish to yield the floor to Senator Johanns. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nebraska.
