This will help give them better morale and will help in terms of ensuring security. Do not take my word for it. Take the Administrator's word for it, Administrator John Pistole, who said this will help ensure the safety of the traveling public. I reserve the remainder of our time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Mississippi.
