I very strongly urge the adoption of this amendment. The focus, as we all know, should be on preventing another 9/11, as the police commissioner from New York has underscored many, many different times, that to place this ring around New York City and major urban areas will be a strong deterrent to anybody even contemplating. So I strongly urge the adoption of this great amendment by my good friend from Long Island, New York (Mr. King).
