     efficiency and security of land ports of entry, which may 
     include legislation directing full funding for all land ports 
     of entry modernization and expansion projects so that all 
     such ports meet current security requirements and maintain 
     full staffing to maximize the efficiency and security of port 
     operations to facilitate trade and travel, by the amounts 
     provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided

     period of the total of fiscal years 2026 through 2035.
