                          U.S. SECRET SERVICE

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, yesterday afternoon, I spoke with 
Secret Service Acting Director Rowe after an armed suspect was arrested 
after fleeing from former President Trump's golf course in West Palm 
Beach, FL.
  I will say what I have said many times before: There is no place in 
America for political violence of any kind.
  I am glad the former President is safe, and I applaud the Secret 
Service and all first responders for acting quickly before anyone got 
hurt.
  As for the perpetrator, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent 
of the law.
  We all must do our part to ensure an incident like this does not 
happen again. This means that Congress has a responsibility to ensure 
the Secret Service and all law enforcement have the resources they need 
to do their jobs. So as we continue the appropriations process, if the 
Secret Service is in need of more resources, we are prepared to provide 
it for them, possibly in the upcoming funding agreement.
