BRIAN A. TERRY BORDER PATROL STATION
Ms. STABENOW. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate
proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 390, H.R. 2668.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A bill (H.R. 2668) to designate the station of the United
States Border Patrol located at 2136 South Naco Highway in
Bisbee, Arizona, as the ``Brian A. Terry Border Patrol
Station.''
There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
Mr. LEVIN. I am pleased that the Senate will pass the Brian Terry
Memorial Act today, and that it has the overwhelming support of my
colleagues.
Agent Terry, a native of Flat Rock, MI, dedicated his life to public
service and the protection of our country and its citizens. He served
honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps and continued his service as a
police officer with the cities of Ecorse and Lincoln Park in Michigan
prior to joining the U.S. Border Patrol. He was a member of the 699th
Session of the Border Patrol Academy assigned to the Naco Border Patrol
Station within the Tucson Sector. Tragically, in December 2010, while
on patrol 14 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, Agent Terry was
shot and killed during an armed confrontation with suspected criminals.
Agent Terry gave everything in the defense of our country. As we sit
here today, thousands of agents are putting their lives on the line to
secure our borders and protect our Nation. Agent Terry exemplified that
courage and heroism, and we honor him today with this legislation that
will designate the station of the U.S. Border Patrol located at 2136
South Naco Highway in Bisbee, AZ, as the Brian A. Terry Border Patrol
Station.
I thank my colleagues for their support of this worthy tribute to
Agent Terry.
Ms. STABENOW. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the bill be
read a third time and passed, the motions to reconsider be laid upon
the table, with no intervening action or debate, and any related
statements be printed in the Record.
