On the recordMarch 15, 2006
this is what I would like to conclude with. Dubai Ports World will have no administrative authority over any ports. They will have no security responsibility over any ports in the United States. That is retained by the Federal and State governments, completely. All the longshoremen will still be American longshoremen that load and unload these ships.

Let this vote signal dignity and worth to the United Arab Emirates. I urge my colleagues to vote for the motion to strike.
