Sen. Coburn's Pro-Enforcement Amendment to Interior Spending Bill Adopted

Sen. Tom Coburn

Published:  

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) offered an amendment (SA 2523) to the Dept. of Interior spending bill (H.R. 2996) that would prevent any funds in the bill from being used to limit U.S. law enforcement activities, including immigration enforcement, on public lands near the border. The language is near identical to an amendment adopted during yesterday’s House debate and passage of H.R. 324 – the Santa Cruz National Heritage Area Act. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Interior, requested a unanimous consent and the amendment was adopted without a recorded vote.

A great group of American citizens just left our headquarters after being trained for two days as Super Volunteers. We knew before they arrived that their diverse backgrounds created possibilities for friction (such as one volunteer whose job it is to help his large firm keep its union workers in check, and another volunteer whose entire career was at the national headquarters of the AFL-CIO!). In fact, though, amity reigned because all placed priority on a common goal. The strength in diversity comes from the sameness of purpose.
