Jeanne Shaheen said "There are any number of reasons why we need to pass a clean funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. We should be working to do that now. We should stop the ideological debate and focus on the risk to this country if we fail to act, the potential risk we would face by passing a continuing resolution, and the risk to this country if we shut down the Department of Homeland Security. None of those options are acceptable. We need to work together and get this done. I urge my colleagues to do that. I thank the Presiding Officer. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Washington. ___________________
