I think if both of you are committed to working together and getting this done and closed I think that goes a long way.

Thank you, Senator Paul. Good questions.

Would that just be temporarily to help you with the backlog? Or you would retain those permanently?

How many do you think you will have completed by the end of 2011?

What is your sense of the number of applicants who somehow get tagged with corruption? Do you know that?

If you do the reinvestigations and the polygraphs, what percentage of the employees turn up with an issue?

if the Mexican drug cartels are successful in corrupting local officials, police, judges and the military, it seems to me pretty likely that they could also corrupt these Mexican trucking companies

We used to do a lot of partnership with Habitat for Humanity, Cook County Housing Authority, for that simple purpose.

I must commend Secretary Janet Napolitano for her leadership in bringing us together.

So if you all can get this done as quickly as possible, I think it will do nothing but be a good thing for the country.
