On the recordJanuary 15, 2003
Senator Byrd has been an advocate, for many months now, of doing something to properly fund homeland security. One member of our caucus referred to it as hometown security. The Senator from Nebraska, Mr. Nelson, referred to it as hometown security, and that is really what it is. It is to make sure the cities and towns in our States have the protection that is necessary as a result of the terrible events of September 11. But Senator Domenici, I am sure, recognized that this bill, our bill, should have more money--more money as it relates to homeland security.
