Murray introduced the amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations bill to clarify the Senate’s position following comments by Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) that the Senate would be willing to accept a lower funding number passed by the House of Representatives. Murray’s amendment to the Homeland Security bill is identical to the amendment she successfully attached to the Interior Appropriations bill at the end of June by a vote of 96-0.
