Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2015 -- Motion to Proceed -- Continued

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. SHAHEEN. If I could ask my colleague a question, isn't it true,
I say to Senator Durbin, that the bill you are talking about, the clean
bill Senator Mikulski and I have introduced, is the legislation that
was agreed to last December by Senator Mikulski, when she was chair of
the Appropriations Committee, and Hal Rogers, chair of the House
Appropriations Committee? It was a bipartisan agreement, a bicameral
agreement, and each side gave some.

What is at issue here is not that underlying bill. What is at issue
are the five riders, the amendments the House put on, that have nothing
to do with funding the Department of Homeland Security.
