“We totally agree that it is very urgent to bring this measure to the floor. As we know, the Senate completed action only late last night. There are some differences between the President's proposal and the Senate bill. There are some complex issues still to be resolved. But we are very hopeful we can get that to the floor next week and get these issues resolved, and provide the American people an additional sense of security, in addition to the National Guard and other important measures that have been taken in the interim. I would tell the gentleman that the points are well taken, and we will move with urgency.”
