four suspects are already in custody after sergeant brian terry was shot and killed tuesday evening. homeland secretary janet napolitano is expected to meet with them after arriving. pete williams is watching this story for us live in washington, d.c. >> secretary napolitano had planned to go to arizona anyway. so she moved her visit up a day, as she's a former governor of arizona, of course, to talk about what happened. this incident took place late tuesday in a remote area about ten miles north of the border. the man in charge of the union of border patrol agents says brian terry was killed in a shootout with bandits. these are people who rob and assault illegal immigrants and smugglers who come across the border, and the killing of a border patrol agent is raising new concerns about the security of the border. based on what we know so far, this does not seem to be directly related to the drug trade. but the union president for the border patrol says it shows that the border remains out of control if bandits can prey on people ten miles inland.

they say agent brian terry was part of a surveillance team looking for bandits north of the border. >now for an a.m. original. a story you'll only see on "american morning." for the past year, we've been bringing you "a soldier's story," documenting the lives of military recruits from basic training to the battlefield. >> this morning, we have an unprecedented look at sergeant randy shorter, using his word to build the trust of tribal elders in one of the most dangerous regions in afghanistan. our jason carroll traveled to afghanist afghanistan. >> both you have know over an extended period of time, what these guys have got to do is engage the afghans. sergeant shorter's mission is not just about going after insurgents, obviously. in order for him and other soldiers to gain the trust afghan people, they have to go outside the protected perimeter of the base. >> time to move again. >> time to move again. >> all right. enemy situation, last 24, a lot of ieds, you anticipate the worse. everybody tracking? okay, right now, sergeant shorter and the rest of his men in his unit, you can see

and agents like brian terry, who lost his life last week and is an agent from michigan, who i believe is being laid out in a funeral parlor in the city of detroit this week, laid down their lives to protect our border and our nation. and, of course, the challenges faced by c.b.p. along the northern border are being met. the important work being done by our border patrol and c.b.p. personnel has made them a target of these drug cartels and other criminal organizations who want to recruit them to help smuggle drugs and money across our borders. corruption amongst border agents is not a new problem, but as enforcement has grown, so have the number of corruption cases. since 2003, 129 c.b.p. officers have been arrested on corruption charges. last year alone, there were 576 allegations of corruption. c.b.p.'s internal affairs office has stated that less than 15% of applicants receive a polygraph test despite agency policy that requires that all applicants are supposed to take this test. c.b.p. procedure also requires periodic background reinvestigations for employees to occur at least ever

just last night border patrol agent brian terry was murdered by bandits in the border town of rio rico, arizona. our wide open borders are facilitating violence on both sides of the border war zone. meanwhile the administration just whistles past the graveyard. that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from kentucky rise? mr. yarmuth: request permission to yem. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. yarmuth: this week the senate and house will be asked to vote on a package of tax extenders and other provision that is will provide great benefits for many hardworking american families and for low-income people. unfortunately this comes at a very high price to the american people and to the national debt. we are being asked by republican leaders in the senate to give benefits to the very healthiest americans, including an estate tax provision that will benefit only 6,600 families, the wealthiest families in america. this is like going to the hospital with a serious illness and the doctor saying to you, i'm goin
