Mr. CARTER of Texas. I thank my friend for yielding.

To give you the news about what the Department of Homeland Security is doing, this bill includes $2.5 billion for grants to first responders, $397 million above the request. Further, this bill includes $50 million for a new program to help States and local communities prepare for, prevent, and respond to terrorist threats.
