I want printed in the Record this statement from this e-mail, the title of which is ``Urgent: Effectively defending our homeland at stake.'' This was sent out today. It quotes the President of the United States, George W. Bush. It says: The House responded, but the Senate is more interested in special interests in Washington and not interested in the security of the American people. That is a quote, supposedly, that the Republican National Committee sent out quoting President Bush. It goes on further in another paragraph to say: This bipartisan approach is stalled in the Senate because some Senate Democrats have chosen to put special interest, federal government employee unions over the security of the American people. I want that in the Record.
