I visited at the ATF headquarters. In looking at their work particularly focused on explosives--and their new site in Alabama--looking at some of the work that they are doing around the country, it is so vitally important that I think at this time in our country's history for us to retreat from our commitment to this agency would be a very unfortunate and unwise decision. So I would hope that the House would vote in opposition to this amendment and make sure that as we go forward we can try to address whatever the concerns are. But cutting ATF by this amount of money would put so many Americans at risk, and I think it would be unwise.
