On the recordJune 21, 2007
Once you sift through the mountain of misinformation presented on the floor tonight, it's clear that those who advocate cutting funding from WHINSEC do so, as I say, in the absence of fact. WHINSEC is not the School of the Americas. WHINSEC has a spotless human rights record and is exceeding in helping the United States develop critical relationships with our closer neighbors. Mr. Chairman, in fact, it is time to let the School of the Americas go, and to give WHINSEC a chance. And so I urge all my colleagues to vote ``no.''
