Is that what you would consider a major weakness, that it has not been run like a business?

I will tell you that it seems to me every 2 years or 3 years the things you were using 2 or 3 years ago are already obsolete.

I understand about half of your workforce is eligible for retirement.

It is not going to be easy, and the committee will certainly give you all the support and help that we can.

I want to tell you that it is my personal hopes that the Capitol Police become the shining light of the police departments nationwide.

I am very, very supportive of it, by the way.

We will give you 1 more week to figure out a plan to protect all Americans who visit the Capitol.

Absolutely. Absolutely. The losses have been funded by our revolving fund.

I would like to, and I am sure Senator Durbin would also like to know more about it, if you do prioritize.

I had an opportunity to talk to Speaker Hastert a couple days ago, because I understood that he was not supporting that merger.

This is my first hearing as chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

I intend to be very, very vocal and very forceful of the things that you want to do with the police department.
