There is a thoughtfulness and depth of commitment and expertise that, frankly, we have not seen any other place.

I would just urge you to look at the good job that many of those servicer organizations are doing.

I was pleased to see that you have spoken out about FIRST, which is another great program that started in New Hampshire.

I think it is a place where the State has done a great job and provides a model.

Is there a dollar amount that accounts for that, or a percentage of income of the U.S. maritime industry that can be attributed to food aid?

I share the sentiments that have already been expressed, that it is very important for us to look at the budget for food aid and try to increase that, but that we also need to be as efficient as possible.

I want to know when somebody is putting together a $100 million lobby.

As you point out, we had a fascinating and informative trip to the southern border.

We can only grow so fast because we don't have the personnel, the technology?

Now, through this hearing, we hope to focus on DHS's role in protecting the Nation from cyberattacks.

Cybersecurity is at the forefront of our national consciousness, and we hear every day about another cybersecurity challenge.

One of the challenges, and I think we talked a little bit about this when I visited the NCCIC, where the NPPD operates and where you all are working, is how to quantify what the challenge is and how to track what is happening in a way so…

Should legislation include best practices? Should it include a standard by which sectors should operate?

What do you do in a worst-case scenario?

That is what I was going to ask. Can you identify the bad guy and then do you report that to law enforcement in some way?

I share the bipartisan angst and this is really challenging for all of us.

Doesn't it, though, seem sort of counterintuitive that, when we are talking about issues around cybersecurity and around communicating virtually on the Internet, the only way we think we can do that is to build a brick-and-mortar campus?

The private sector, writ large, is not where it should be.
