I first want to express some puzzlement though, and perhaps the sponsor of this amendment can clarify this as she closes. One of the early scribbled versions of this amendment did indeed refer to VIPR teams, and about two-thirds of her…

Reclaiming my time, I asked a very direct question: Does the amendment include or not include VIPR teams? I yield to the gentlewoman.

I thank the gentlewoman for clarifying that. There is a lot of confusion about this amendment. The VIPR teams aside, let me just say that to put in this bill a blanket prohibition against TSA officers operating outside of an airport is…

Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma will be postponed.

Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment. It increases funding for the Federal Flight Deck Officers program. But the bill already greatly increases this program above the request, 50 percent above the request, returning the…

Mr. Chairman, I, too, rise to oppose this amendment. Aviation continues to be the main focus for terrorists seeking to do us harm. I would think we all realize that. This amendment would prohibit all of the screening, all of the scanning…

Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment. It cuts ICE salaries and expenses by over $500 million and puts all of that spending in the Spending Reduction Account. There's some ironies in this amendment. It would actually hinder…
