School gets $1 million for border security


El Paso Times

The Senate has approved $1 million for border security research at the University of Texas at El Paso, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said Thursday.
The money part of the fiscal year 2007 Department of Defense appropriations bill, will help establish a Center for Defense Systems Research at UTEP with a focus on border security. "With close proximity to both the U.S.-Mexico border and major military installations, UTEP is in an excellent position to develop new security technologies," Hutchison said in a news release.
