I appreciate you all recognizing that because, again, we don't make them there, but we do the training there.

we are grateful for your continuing support of the men and women in law enforcement.

I think it's a good process--not always perfect, but a good one.

I want to thank everybody for being here, and I certainly want to thank Senator Ensign for being here.

Thank you for the question.

Kids today think marijuana is a joke. They do.

I think it is important that all of our C-130 pilots receive the same high-quality training.

And, of course, we have the Pine Bluff arsenal in Arkansas and they have just gone through the big chemical demilitarization process.

It seems like their tactics are always changing and they just kind of have a kaleidoscope of options there.

Right. And so where are you seeing these? In some of the things I read, some of these are not necessarily in U.S. waters, but they are coming from Latin American countries, maybe up to Mexico or whatever.

These agents will always be remembered for their heroic service.

I met with Lieutenant General Stultz the other day, and we were talking about this and he was describing the desire for the Reserve components to amend title 10.

Everybody made fun of Nancy Reagan's 'Just Say No' campaign, but drug use during the 1980s really went down dramatically.

That is good. I would like to get more on that in terms of how much you think you can save and how those efficiencies will work.

I just have a few seconds left--and that is, on electronic on-board recorders.

Are they actively trying to address those and fix those problems?

There was an opportunity. In the early days, there was not enough focus on taking advantage of the opportunity, but they also inherited a lot of problems and a lot of challenges and so they are working their way through those still.

It sounds like a lot of that has to do with training and to making sure the officers are properly trained on the machines.

DHS is a relatively new department. It seemed to me when it was started a few years ago, that it would have a chance at a clean slate to set all the operations up the way they should be done and not inherit a lot of issues and challenges…

First, I want to add my agreement to what Senator Thune was talking about a few moments ago with the rogue motorcoach carriers.

I hope you will look at that and take their recommendations to heart.

I am concerned about that because pediatricians really are the primary care providers for our children.

Thank you, Madam Secretary, for being here.

One provision in the bill says basically that NHTSA has to have regulations within a year for safety belts, improved roof crush standards, advanced window glazing, and electronic stability control technologies.

We should not be starting unaffordable programs.
