                            SENATE SECURITY

  Mr. SCHUMER. Now, Mr. President, as we convene, I want to start with 
this: My highest priority right now is working with the Senate 
leadership on both sides, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and Capitol 
Police to ensure everyone's safety. This weekend, I asked Capitol 
Police and the Sergeant at Arms to increase the security for Members, 
including Senator Padilla and the Minnesota Senators. Knowing that the 
Sergeant at Arms, her entire operation, and the Capitol Police are 
there to help us right now is comforting.
  Tomorrow, the Senate will hold an all-Members' briefing, organized at 
my request and that of Senator Thune, with the Sergeant at Arms, to 
talk about security for Members. The Sergeant at Arms and Capitol 
Police are doing an outstanding job and have bent over backwards, under 
very difficult circumstances, to keep everyone safe. Tomorrow's 
briefing will be a chance for them to convey what they are doing for 
Members to keep them safe.
