I just want to publicly, again, State my support of that.

Are you aware that your staff has informed committee staff that it will take 10 weeks to review an initial tranche of documents that are responsive to a single question?

Simply put, this Republican bill would seriously undermine TSA's security mission.

I have been seeing that this is not just a strategic area, valuable and ripe with valuable commodities.

I am a proud cosponsor of this bill, and I encourage my Republican colleagues to give it serious consideration as a solution to TSA's funding challenges.

So, am I now supposed to send all of our SEC inquiries to the Department of Justice?
