The fact that the gentleman's committee, and under his leadership with the Homeland Security Committee, is asking for $350 million to help address that problem is most appreciated. And I want to assure him that not only will I pass this information on back to the people in my congressional district about the needs that they face and the effort that the gentleman is making, and all the members of that committee are making to change this, but I will work as hard as I possibly can in support of this amendment tomorrow. I hope that it will be considered and it will be passed into law. We need these funds. The lives of our citizens across this country depend on it, and I thank the gentleman for his work and commend him for it.
