Effective information sharing is essential to prevent and respond to threats posed by bad actors. H.R. 1589 will facilitate information sharing in the CBRN space where new threats are constantly emerging. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues…

I am proud that on April 1, 2019, the House passed my bill, the CLASS Act, which would establish a council within DHS to ensure the Department coordinates its school safety activities.

Due to a family commitment, I was not present and therefore unable to vote on Thursday, March 28, 2019. Had I been present I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 135 and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 136. ____________________

Administrator Bridenstine, it is great to have you here today. I really enjoy hearing your knowledge on all subjects of NASA.

I want to thank our witnesses for being here today and your continued service to our great Nation.

the American people want us to address the real physical and financial threats that exist in the real world.

I definitely agree. Our local police chiefs and sheriffs really support the Project Safe Neighborhoods, and it is a great program with a high return on investment for helping reduce gun and violent crime in our communities.

For a couple of years at the end of the Obama administration, violent crime in America started to tick up, that means more robberies, more murders, and more assaults.

I am reintroducing the bipartisan AQUAA Act this year, to provide a clear path for permitting aquaculture in U.S. waters.

We need to rely more on our domestic fisheries than foreign imports.

That's very good to hear. We are working on legislation to try to make the EUL longer.

I think the people that they sent in lieu of the Secretary are sometimes best situated to answer our more direct questions.

We definitely appreciate the FBI's work on this. I mean, when our universities are coming up with cutting edge research and development and technologies, just to see them stolen by our adversaries.

This is why I think the American people are interested in having this conversation, and making sure the FBI is using their resources in the protection and security of America.

We should not put them in cages. We should provide adequate medical and other care that they need.

Real oversight of this family separation policy and how DHS and CBP are currently treating asylum-seeking families and children is long overdue.

We must be clear. Though systematic challenges with detention conditions, due process and family screening protocols have been persistent over many years, the Trump administration is unique.

I adamantly hope we do not see a repeat of this cruelty this summer.
