George Voinovich: “This budget proposes to fund U.S. Customs and Border Protection at $10 billion.”

My champion on this project is a friend of many in this chamber, George Voinovich.

I would like to say, again, thank you very, very much for the good work that you have done.

The current structure falls short in comparison to a model that provides additional accountability and reasonably insulates the organization from political interference

We still believe that identifying long-term funding for all of the reform efforts would help, especially as the money becomes tighter and congressional decisionmakers such as yourself have to prioritize.
