And let us be frank, the security threats that emanate from our ports come from foreign cargo.
Dana Rohrabacher
Fourth, we might have declared an embargo against the shipping from American ports of any merchandise to either one of these governments that persisted in maintaining its military zone.
George William Norris
I believe it is essential that we close the security gaps that put our nation at risk, and I will continue to fight for the funding that will secure high-risk targets, such as our ports and borders.
Mark Pryor
I got done writing Ports of Call and suddenly realized I have far too much material for the book.
Jack Vance
I had learned what wealth was, and a great deal about production and exchange for myself in the early history of South Australia - of the value of machinery, of roads and bridges, and of ports for transport and export.
Catherine Helen Spence
I represent the Port of Philadelphia, and I know firsthand the important role that ports play in the national and global economy. I have also seen how simple accidents can have devastating impacts on the port system.
Allyson Schwartz
I was outraged to learn that the president wanted to outsource operations at some American ports to the United Arab Emirates.
Francine Busby
In light of the recent controversy surrounding foreign management of U.S. Ports, a thorough review of foreign management of U.S. airports needs to occur.
Jon Porter
In my district, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles handle approximately 44 percent of all of the goods delivered to American shores, yet they are in constant need of revenue for facilities, improvements and upgrades to roads and bridges and rails.
Dana Rohrabacher
Mr. Speaker, Delaware River's regional ports handle approximately 58 million tons of cargo yearly.

My colleagues, while it is good that the Nation is finally focused on the critical issue of securing our ports, our rhetoric and our passion about Dubai must be matched by the funding necessary to keep our ports and our citizens safe.
Allyson Schwartz

Jim Ryun
Our ports and our borders are the most unprotected fronts in the war on terror.
J. D. Hayworth
Our ports are a vital link in national security and it is extremely dangerous to be considering their sale to the United Arab Emirates government.
Joe Donnelly
Our ports are owned by local governments who are responsible for the ports. It is the Coast Guard and Customs that provide security. The federal government will never outsource our security.
Kit Bond
Ports are the gaping hole in America's homeland security.
Dianne Feinstein
Tens of thousands of South Florida jobs are dependent on the trade and commerce that our ports provide, and we have to make sure that we spend our security dollars wisely.

Terrorists have already attacked our Nation once. There is every reason to believe that they will try again - possibly with a weapon of mass destruction; a weapon that could be smuggled into our ports.
Mike Fitzpatrick
The American people have every right to be outraged with the administration's approval of the UAE port deal. It is time the people's House make the security of our Nation's ports a priority.
