"The legislation establishing the new Department must strike a careful balance between the flexibility needed to defend against a ruthless enemy and the fairness needed to ensure employee rights."

"These provisions include the first ever blanket expansion of Davis-Bacon wage guarantees to an entire department where instead existing law should control."

"America must be protected from terrorist attack."

"S. 2452 would create an inflexible and inefficient bureaucracy that could hinder rather than improve our ability to protect the Nation."
