On the recordJuly 25, 2003
I do so to present the emergency supplemental appropriations bill, the second supplemental for fiscal year 2003. This is a very simple, straightforward emergency bill that includes $983.6 million for the Disaster Relief Fund, which is now a part of the Department of Homeland Security. We know that there are Members that have other interests, and the administration has other interests. We had already reported from the Committee on Appropriations a supplemental that was more far reaching than this, but it appears the proper thing to do now is to just present this emergency supplemental strictly for Disaster Relief because the Disaster Relief account has a serious problem with running out of money. I do not think we need a lot of debate on this bill.

I agree strongly with Mr. Murtha's statement about torture. I don't think Americans want to be known as a Nation that do torture. But we have put prohibitions on torture in our Defense appropriations bills almost from the beginning of the…
