Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2015

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I believe we have no further
speakers, so at this time, I am prepared to close.

I would just like to clarify a few things. Nobody is going to lose a
paycheck, no agency is going to go broke, as we have this
constitutional discussion and this constitutional debate that has taken
place today and will probably take place tomorrow, when the amendments
will actually be before this august body for a determination of whether
they will be included or not included in this bill.

There has been some confusion, I think, that some may think these
things are already here, but we will follow the regular process
tomorrow on the amendments that have been made in order.

No one is trying to put the security of the United States at risk in
this bill, and we will have a normal debate, as we do here. What better
body to address constitutional issues than the Congress of the United
States?

With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
