On the recordFebruary 28, 2007
I thank Senator Inouye for his extraordinary leadership in these matters. The committees have differing jurisdictions, all aimed at supporting homeland security. The Commerce Committee sections we are proud to have put together with the parts that came out of the Homeland Security Committee, as well as parts that came out of the Banking Committee. It is always an honor and pleasure to work with Senator Inouye. I thank him for the contributions he and Senator Stevens and their committee have made to the overall movement in the Senate to improve our homeland security. I thank the Senator very much.
