Cord Byrd: “There is $8.3 billion for homeland reform that the Appropriations…”

On the recordJune 6, 2002

There is $8.3 billion for homeland reform that the Appropriations Committee determines is necessary based on extensive hearings. The Senator was in not in those hearings. The ranking member was in the hearings. They were well attended by Republican Members. There is $5.5 billion requested by the President in response to the September attack on New York City. The Senator has come to the Senate floor "loaded for bear," but he is saying some things that simply are not true about this bill. I think he had a bad dream. I think he had a nightmare. He is not feeling well. He is not feeling well this morning.
