Okay. Great. Thanks.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify today. We look forward to your questions.

Thank you, General Alles.

In order to enhance situational awareness, we need to leverage technological force multipliers that provide persistent surveillance.

I authored the Border Security Technology Accountability Act that ensures border security programs are meeting costs, schedule, and performance thresholds.

Congress repeatedly asked a very simple question when it comes to border security: What will it take to gain situational awareness and operational control of the Southern Border?

Thank you, Mr. Borkowski.

I just want to say, again, this has unanimously passed in the House. It is being held up in the Senate.

I hope from, just your comments today and looking at the bill, that they would realize that this is a win for the taxpayers.

It took about 18 months. The Border Jobs for Veterans Act, which we passed, such as my bill, supposed to fast-track our veterans.

As long as it doesn't take 18 months for them to get a job. If we can get to that in less than 90 days and while they are still on active duty, that would be ideal.
