The first thing is that this amendment does not include the MQ-9 Reaper that the gentleman mentioned. It does not make a preference for that. I also take exception to the ``hatred'' comment that was made here. Look, the border security in…

I would hope that all of our members would support this resolution.

This resolution underscores the important friendship between our countries, and I am happy to support it.
