next week we are supposed to have completed the work on the new homeland security agency. Is the gentleman aware that there are lobby disclosure reports that have been filed right here in the Capitol by Pricewaterhouse Consulting which declared a new day in the Caribbean by calling itself Monday, has fled, is not paying its fair share of taxes but has filed a lobby disclosure report that it is up here lobbying ultimately for business from the new homeland security agency that we were told originally would cost no new dollars but now is apparently going to cost at least 3 billion new dollars? And apparently though they do not want to pay for our homeland security, they have already got their hand out looking for some business from the taxpayers with that new government agency.
