On the recordOctober 25, 2001
We improved security on the northern border, the 4,000-mile wonderful border between our country and Canada, another democratic nation. Many members of my wife's family came from Canada. We have always had historic and economic ties with Canada. Partly because we have taken so much for granted, we have also shortchanged this relationship. We should look at the border for our sake and for the sake of Canada. We have greatly improved security on the northern border by adding better technology, more Customs and INS agents. That helps. We added something the administration did not include--money laundering. I learned as a prosecutor--and most Members know this--if you want to learn something, follow the money. If you want to stop terrorism, one way is to cut off the money supply.
