the provision the gentleman refers to, section 504 of the bill, is one that was crafted, I believe, prior to the recommendation for the Department of Homeland Security being formed. It is certainly my intent, and I will endeavor to make sure our bill is consistent with this, that whatever is ultimately adopted by this body and by the other body, what is ultimately adopted by Congress regarding where the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center should be situated, whether it be in the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security or elsewhere, whatever ultimately is the enactment as far as the Department of Homeland Security, is something that I will make sure that we have language consistent with that in the ultimate House-Senate version of the Treasury, Postal appropriation.
