Time is of the essence. With national security on the minds of many Americans, I urge my colleagues to seize the opportunity and pass legislation to create the Department of Homeland Security. Each day that passes without this coordinating effort is a day that America is vulnerable to the very people who attacked this country on September 11. Creating the Department of Homeland Security will send a resounding message to the world: America is stronger and safer than it was 12 months ago. I applaud those who have put partisan agendas aside to do what is right for this country. An entire year has passed. Let us get our work done. Let us put an end to the politics and provide Americans with the safety they deserve.
