Thank you, Chairwoman, and thanks for holding this hearing.

You have looked at our report. I appreciated you saying that you completely concur with the recommendations and findings.

Do you believe the better--that better command planning and communication on January 6th would have helped prevent the breach of the Capitol?

Senator Murray and Senator Alexander and the Authorizing Committee, last year, did a great job of leading there.

This is a racial justice issue.

Why do you think those were not implemented?

We have just about worn out the Capitol Police force, and I think we talk about adding more to the force.

There may be some cost to that, but even in those areas, not this hearing about cost, but those areas that cost is a cost that clearly is manageable and easily accessible, I believe, for the Capitol Police.

I am prepared to close, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, this is commonsense legislation. It doesn't cost the government any money. And the fact of the matter is, it is already being done in so many other areas of…

I think the remaining 15 focus on implementing proper training, acquiring necessary equipment, bolstering the Department's intelligence unit.

I think momentum is important here, and it has been our view, both Senator Klobuchar's and mine, that so many of these things, we now clearly have a sense of what we ought to do, and now we ought to be sure that we move forward as quickly…

I look forward to working together on this.

if you think college is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free.

What about all the students that could go to community college, otherwise, that we are--are we now paying that tuition as well?

I am concerned about the spending level.

What can we do to ensure that that money gets spent, and there is more transparency about how and where it is being spent?

we should instead focus our investments in programs that make a student's choice in college affordable.

We know how much education can change the trajectory of a person's life.
