The lack of information in ILER should not be used as dispositive to say that there is no injury or no exposure.

We need to look back on our military operations and make amends where our veterans have been harmed by toxic exposures.

I will keep working with colleagues and both parties to ensure Americans can access good paying jobs, quality education, skills training to build economically secure lives for themselves and their families.

This attack shows clearly the disruption and damage that cyber criminals can inflict on local communities.

Federal, State, local, and tribal entities need to take urgent actions to implement comprehensive cybersecurity strategies.

Arizonans expect a government that is efficient, effective, responsive, and transparent.

Well, thank you. You and your team have been through some difficult challenges.

A few weeks ago, the full Senate took a vote on our Restaurant Rescue Plan and support it 90-10.

Additional funding yields the opportunity for us to get back on track and make more transformative change in the community that sustainably moves people into livable wage rolls versus welfare rolls, which is good for everybody.

But Arizonans expect Congress to do more than cross their fingers and hope, which is why last June I teamed up with Senator Wicker from Mississippi to introduce the Restaurants Act.

Arizona small businesses are the backbone of our State's economy, and before this pandemic hit, small businesses in Arizona employed 1.6 million workers.

So there will be a point where the VA will be able to offer vaccines to inactive status veterans.

In Arizona, the VA should further identify ways to offer vaccines for CBP employees through VA community clinics and mobile vet centers.

Okay. Do folks fall through the cracks when that occurs, or is that not something you have experienced?

S. 4168 would have dedicated funding in the amount of $1.335 billion each year for the period of fiscal years 2020 to 2024.

Now, I will admit that when I hear from Arizonans, the first question or concern they have for me is not usually about the federal funds rate.

Thank you, Chairman Powell. Again, I appreciate you being here today. Mr. Chairman, let us work together to get the economy back on track and ensure that everyone benefits from this recovery.

As we work to rebuild the economy and reopen safely, we will likely see pent-up demand in the hardest-hit sectors.

We want to ramp up vaccine production and distribution, support small businesses, deliver relief to struggling Arizonans, and reopen our schools safely.

Given all of these pieces, what in your opinion broke down and what got in the way of law enforcement properly planning to meet these publicly articulated threats?

The FBI does not monitor publicly available social media conversations?

Based on that response, would it be fair to assume that it was not a particularly high priority that there were armed protests planned at all 50 State capitols across the country?

Was there any conversation or consideration about the fact that the January 6th was scheduled on a very important day, that Congress would be in session certifying the results of the election?

I think that that is critical.

I do think that deserves additional focus.
