The Yazoo Backwater projects in the Mississippi Delta region are also going to be subjected to substantial cuts.

We started out poor, and we're getting poorer.

Mr. Chairman, thank you very much for presiding over this hearing and providing leadership for our subcommittee.

I question the level of priority this administration is placing on our Nation's critical infrastructure.

Please identify any non-government organizations or individuals that had any role whatsoever in composing, editing, drafting, reviewing or developing any part of the FFRMS.

I ask that you help us fulfill our critical mission and role, and fund us at the levels that will allow us to hire the necessary staff, keep talented and experienced individuals, and continue rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

I appreciate the good work conducted by these agencies, and I look forward to learning more about their fiscal year 2016 funding needs.

Without a fully-funded Department of Homeland Security, some of our key methods of identifying terrorists and preventing terrorist travel will be at risk.

I am concerned with the implementation of this Executive Order because its development was conducted with little transparency or input from the public or lawmakers.

I was very disappointed yesterday that the Senate did not vote to proceed to the consideration of the Homeland Security appropriations bill. I hope we will have an opportunity to reconsider that vote and we will agree to take up the bill…

Thank you to the panelists. We are shuttling back and forth between various committees today.

If we tell you what to do, you will do it.
