But we also need accountability for those that do go after whistleblowers and very strong actions in that regard.

I think it is so important. And if we are not going to have a full Inspector General, if we are not going to go forward, we are going to have to just step forward and try and do that in place of that.

Yes, it is really kind of crazy. I mean, it is a catch-22 situation.

Mr. Chairman, we really need to follow up on that in the future and kind of hawk that as to what is going on.

Good. Thank you very much.

Do we have a percentage of calls that are actually being answered for homeless people calling in?

It is my firm belief that the two programs are very complementary.

the dangers our troops face extend beyond war zones and unfortunately to within our Nation's borders, and it is time our policies reflect their risks no matter where they are stationed. Just like the attack at the Little Rock Army…

But you would acknowledge this is a big deal? To reach a 26 to 28 percent reduction, you are going to have far reaching things.

And the question is, does the President have the unilateral authority to do that? And that is really kind of where we are.

the Honorable Jacob Trieber, of Helena, AR, known as a ``genius lawyer and jurist,'' served as the first Jewish Federal judge in the United States. Born on October 6, 1853, in Raschkow, Prussia, a young Jacob Trieber and his family escaped…

So in the case of the international climate agreement proposed by the President, does anyone disagree that it won't drive up the cost of food, fuel and electricity for American families and have an impact on domestic policies ranging from…

We have checks and balances in place. There is a proper way to do things.

Both Canada and Mexico have said they would retaliate unless the United States repeals COOL.

It would not surprise me to see more.

The massive breach of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) systems may be the most devastating cybersecurity attack in our Nation's history.

You will find significant problems with them not following IT security best practices, including FISMA.

I think we should take an ordered approach to this problem.

I think we need to work together to protect the Nation's economic and national security interests by coming together to deal with these vital cybersecurity issues.

So how will you all be involved?

Those are important questions. Those are the kinds of things we are getting from our Federal workers.

Do we need additional legislation?

Thank you, Mr. Esser.

The only thing we have to do around here is vote, and so there is just no way of knowing.

Will OPM offer the same protection to individuals whose information was stored on security clearance databases, or does this heightened level of compromised information warrant additional protections?
