Mr. Speaker, We Have Reached A Point

Yesterday I, Along With A Bipartisan Congressional Delegation Of Lawmakers, Inspected The Detention Facilities At Guantanamo Used To House Individuals Detained In The War On Terrorism.

In A Polling Conducted By The Wall Street Journal, 11 Out Of 12 Americans Said They Oppose The Taking Of Private Property, Even If It Is For Public Economic Good.

I Was Most Impressed With The Professionalism Of Our Soldiers Stationed There, And I Am Now More Confident Than Ever That That The Operations At Guantanamo Are Being Conducted In A Humane And Necessary Manner.

We Have A Strong Agricultural Heritage In Kansas.

To My Knowledge, The Department Of Homeland Security Has Focused On Detection Devices That Are Large, Expensive, Use A Large Amount Of Energy, And Cannot Easily Be Placed In Or On A Shipping Container.
