DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 -- (House of Representatives - May 09, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Mr. Chairman, congratulations to Chairman Bennie Thompson for getting the DHS Authorization bill to the floor for the first time in 2 years.

This authorization bill is the result of countless hours of negotiation and I would like to recognize Chairman Thompson and his staff for all their hard work.

H.R. 1684 addresses the difficulties the Department of Homeland Security has faced in contracting, procurement, the morale of employees, management, and oversight.

We cannot continue to sit idly by while the Department which is charged with leading the unified national effort to secure America is not operating effectively.

Again, congratulations to my good friend Chairman Thompson on this accomplishment.
