John Garamendi actually said...

"As Congresswoman Hahn and Mr. Garamendi mentioned, the whole question about port security versus missile defense."

"If you take a look, what we spent on missile defense since I was in Government, is over $200 billion."

"Potential savings of three-quarters of a billion dollars is significant, and I know there is going to be some kickback coming from whoever doesn't have that contract to manufacture the remaining 18."

"The more likely event is to use the ports. If we are going to have a nuclear threat, it is likely to come from a container."
