For terrorists, travel documents are as important as weapons.

Thank you for your testimony, which was very interesting.

We cannot undo what has already been done, but by restricting the use of antibiotics to people and animals that are truly sick, we can make sure that future generations have access to a safe food supply and effective antibiotic therapies.

This seems like a problem that should be simple to solve.

Thank you again to the Chair for holding these hearings and for using your years of expertise.

I sincerely look forward to hearing more about this bill today and hearing from our witnesses.

You see, that information is so disturbing, because it shows how easily a terrorist or a criminal could obtain these materials and smuggle them into a building.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

This is a crisis. It is simply unacceptable that we have such a poor level of security at busy Federal buildings that are obvious targets.

We have an urgent problem. It isn't just the threat from al-Qaeda terrorists, it is the threat from a domestic terrorist.

When our staffs looked at these contracts, we found that for the most part, they were awarded based on the lowest bid price as opposed to the best value.

In this case, it sounds to me like GAO did everything but put the word 'bomb making materials' on the packages that you were putting through the X-ray machine.

the need for these trained staff has never been more apparent.

I cannot fathom how security breaches of this magnitude were allowed to occur.

I look forward to working with the Chairman to accomplish that goal.

We can't be just working toward solutions. We need to have solutions right now.

Senator Collins and I, along with Senator Voinovich and Senator Akaka, will be introducing legislation to reauthorize the Federal Protective Service.
