I think that due process would not impede firing people who would let an 82-year-old woman get into a nuclear facility.

I would hope you start reflecting those going forward, because that is the kind of action that sends a clear message that these lapses in security will not be tolerated.

I think that is the model. Do you disagree that should be the model in how we respond to serious security violations at important facilities like this?

The DOE and NNSA are going to fix this problem going forward in a meaningful way. And until they do, we are going to make them wish they had.

We have got to have help from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue to remedy this.

He didn't make any proposals as to how to deal with sequestration.

The country needs to know, and this is going a long way to helping that end.

It scared the heck out of folks at the Anniston Army Depot in my district, for obvious reasons.

The Algerians have launched some type of operation today, which freed more hostages.

This committee exists solely for the purpose of preventing that from ever happening again.

If you are not able to fire people for stealing under that new contract we are going to have a problem.

In Americans' minds, TSA represents everything wrong about the Federal Government; bloated in bureaucracy.

Michele Bachmann is kind of taking the lead on this particular issue and going through and trying to figure out what they took out of the training materials and what they left in and why did it get changed?

It has been my assessment that we have got about one-third of the TSA that could be reduced, as far as personnel size, and still do the job as efficiently.

One of the things that I have heard consistently from the public is their complaint about the large number of people who seem to be not doing anything.
