Last year we established a grant program called the Emergency Operation Centers. It was established by Congress in FY 2008, in the Homeland Security bill. Last year in the spending bill, it showed that 60 percent of the funds in this grant program were earmarked. We simply can't allow that to happen here. This is a $400 million authorization for this grant program, and we can't have it earmarked.

They have also pushed back in a number of areas as well. Crimea, been consistent in saying that that is part of Ukraine territory.
We need to make clear that that is inconsistent with democratic values and inconsistent with commitments that have been made.
