On the recordSeptember 22, 2004
I want all the buses and trucks inspected, and so do all the people who live in my area. As the Bush administration asks for some of them to be exempted, I think that is wrong. How can we talk about terrorism on one hand and then want to exempt some of the buses and trucks that come into my district and in other border cities around the country? The Olver amendment would not allow that administrative rule to go into effect. It is simple. It is not hard to understand. Thousands of buses and trucks come into my district every day. We have the largest border crossing in America, with over $1 billion of commerce coming every day. I want all the buses and trucks inspected and inspected thoroughly. I do not want any exempted. This is a good amendment. We must support it to protect American citizens who deserve our respect.
