BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. SHAHEEN. Madam President, the Senate is about to vote on a full-
year funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. All of us in
this Chamber understand that we need to support the Department because
they are critical to defending the homeland. If we want to fight ISIL,
then we can fight them here at home by passing the bill to fully fund
DHS.

We can keep Homeland Security on the job. We can keep breaking the
ice to keep the economy moving on our lakes and our oceans. We can
secure our borders. We can prevent attacks from terrorists. Our enemies
are watching. Now it is time to defend America. I urge all of my
colleagues to vote yes on this full funding bill.
