the surge of unaccompanied children on our southern border... do not pose a threat to our national security.

H.R. 4115 is a significant step in ensuring all of aviation security, not just that which is performed by Federal employees, receives the oversight necessary to protect the flying public.

Will you now reassess that and actually go back and look at requiring prevailing wages for those workers?

Is it your understanding that DHS, TSA is reconsidering a decision that did not utilize prevailing wages?

we are confronted with a humanitarian crisis resulting from the alarming scale of violence and economic desperation in three Central American countries.

Isn't that true?

At no cost to the taxpayer?

We have not been able to get agreement on it, but I think all of us know if kids learn more now they are going to earn more later.

the world market is not a level playing field, and the Bank is absolutely vital for companies involved in the global economy.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to thank Vice Chair Klobuchar for having this hearing on a very important set of topics to focus on.
