TITLE V--POLICY STATEMENTS

SEC. 5001. POLICY STATEMENT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY'S ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN DURING THE
SHUTDOWN.

It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that it was
improper for the Department of Homeland Security, in the
midst of a lapse in appropriations, to expend $200,000,000 on
an advertising campaign that was contracted to a consulting
firm with close personal and business ties to the then-
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
