I am vitally concerned about the amount of vehicles that are going to be in the air in 2050.

CFATS must continue to evolve in small ways to ensure chemical facilities are equipped to address evolving security risks.

The collaborative nature of this program between the Department of Homeland Security and chemical facilities is a key part of its value.

A long-term reauthorization of the Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards Program, or CFATS, is a crucial component of this subcommittee's work.

Cybersecurity is one of the great threats of our time and that's why it's such a high honor to be on this committee.

I believe that any changes to CFATS should preserve and encourage this collaboration.

As this is my first hearing as Ranking Member of this subcommittee, I look forward to working with you.

A long-term reauthorization of the CFATS is a crucial component of this subcommittee's work to protect our infrastructure and in that regard I completely agree with the Chairman.

I would like to figure out how we can just incentivize people to kind-of fill that gap.

Does the CFATS--anyone aware that CFATS has what is a--a tip line program?

It might ameliorate some of the--some of my colleague Ms. Rice's concerns about whistleblower retaliation.

For as long as I have been a part of this Subcommittee, we have had bipartisan agreement that foreign assistance is critical to our national security and to maintaining America's leadership role in the world.

The draconian cuts this administration continues to advocate are irresponsible--particularly at a time of unprecedented human suffering--and wholesale haphazard cuts are not an option.

Let me very clear: Our nation's security cannot afford a budget that does not adequately fund our diplomatic and development programs, or life-saving humanitarian assistance.

But let me just say, Madam Chair, and then, I will end, to me, it doesn't matter as long as we are not pulling away help that people need now.

these hospitals rely on funding. I know you know this.

It seems to me that, from these cuts, there is no way that you can call it any other thing, but we are taking money away and many, many more people will be left uninsured and will have no help.

these hospitals rely on funding... a DSH will help keep their doors open and their lights on.
