I refer to this same page: On December 4, 2001, the Senate Appropriations Committee unanimously sent the fiscal year 2002 defense appropriations bill to the Senate floor for action. The bill included $13.1 billion for homeland security. There was a parliamentary point of order raised by the Republicans that reduced the funding. Is the Senator aware of that?

More from Harry Reid
I think Joe Biden is going to push very, very hard to get an infrastructure bill before the midterm election. I think that`s extremely important to do.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
If we have the will, we have the opportunity to improve the lives of millions of families and build something more prosperous for generations to come.
