On the recordFebruary 28, 2007

It is important that the people who are working at our ports are people we can trust to use the equipment and technology they are given to keep the people of America safe. The amendment I have offered is consistent with--in fact, it is identical to--the regulations that the Secretary and the homeland defense agency have put together so that we will not have convicted felons working in our ports around this country, so that we know the people who are operating our most secure areas are people who have not proven to be susceptible to crimes. The Secretary of Homeland Security has not asked for this. In fact, he is supporting the amendment we have.
