Will you continue to review the support that is given to families, our service members who have been taken prisoner, or who are missing in action, so that the military can do their utmost to provide the families with comfort at their most…

You have said that we are a Nation at war, and another terrorist attack here in America is inevitable.

How do we protect ourselves from these threats within our borders while protecting our privacy rights and our freedom to move about this great country?

Mr. Secretary, I hope you will excuse me for interrupting you; my time is limited.

It is not asking too much of the American people to have their representatives in Congress require the agency heads to answer questions and to place limitations on their spending.

Well, Mr. Secretary, I understand it may be a terrible way, but we are talking about the expenditure of the taxpayers' money.

You have the flexibility of reprogramming up to $2 billion annually, and it seems to me that has worked very well in the past.

Why is it that this Administration has been so slow to recognize a need to invest resources that the Congress has made available?

What has changed in the last 9 weeks, Mr. Director? Nine weeks ago $5 billion for homeland security was extraneous. Now $4.2 billion is important enough to be part of an emergency supplemental bill. What has changed?

I expressed my suspicions concerning the word 'flexibility' at that time, and as I sit here, I must ask you.

Power is of an encroaching nature, and it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it.

We need a tax cut so I can go to Disney World. Now that is outrageous nonsense.
