Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Butterfield -- (House of Representatives - June 04, 2009)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Butterfield amendment. This amendment authorizes a study to combine facial and iris recognition that would rapidly identify individuals at security checkpoints. Additionally, this study authorizes the ability to consider environmental and operational factors and any capabilities that would hinder future acquisitions.

As a member of this committee, I support Mr. Butterfield and our chairman in his leadership with this bill, and I urge all of my colleagues to do the same.
