The purpose of this amendment is to transfer $5,000,000 from unobligated balances under section 203 of the title to the DHS. These funds are intended to make the following records available to all members of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Homeland Security:

  • These contracts are for a DHS ad campaign starring former Secretary Kristi Noem.

The funds transferred for this purpose will remain available until they are expended.
