I would just like to add that I listened to the gentleman and I appreciate his comments. I listened to his remarks earlier on the previous amendment, and he said that the intelligence agencies spend all their time, every waking hour, targeting people trying to kill Americans every day. The facts are that these terrorists are trying to kill Americans on American rail transit systems. And that's the purpose of this amendment--to make sure that this is given a priority in our intelligence plans. With that, I yield such time as he may consume to the ranking member, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Ruppersberger).
