Well, this is a grave concern of mine and frankly, I think it's a much bigger risk than anything having to do with the refugee program and that is when we test our TSA, all too often they fail.

There is a problem in sharing between governments. We have a very good relationship with the French. We have a very close relationship obviously with the British and others, nonetheless it can be improved.

I don't think there's an imminent threat of the kind of attack that we saw in like Paris. We're a hard target to reach and ISIS has made it clear.

Among the 2,000 or so refugees we've taken over the last several years from Syria, not a single one of them has been arrested on a terrorism-related offense and in fact, of the 3/4 of a million refugees we've taken in since 9/11, a very…

I understand people's concerns about this and people watching in Paris are appalled at the level of violence and want to make sure we're doing everything possible to avoid any kind of repetition of that in the United States.

That this is a bomb by the affiliate of ISIS. In the Sinai, ISIS has now fully eclipsed the Al-Qaeda as the greatest terrorist threat in the world.

I don't think we've shown much of any progress and for all the time and money put into it, that's very disappointing.

I certainly agree that it does concern me a great deal, but that is not new ground.

For all the talk about the 50 witnesses we interviewed and all the emails that we saw, there was nothing new that my colleagues could point to that was knew or shed different light on the events that happened.

Well, Madam Secretary, I don't know how you're doing, but I'm exhausted.

The American people were entitled to the truth--the truth about what happened in Benghazi.

Social media, like any other form of communication, can be exploited by bad actors for nefarious purposes. While we are lucky to live in a time of remarkable innovation that brings us closer to one another no matter what our geographical…

I want to thank the gentlewoman from Arizona for her amendment, as well as the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I am proud to support it. Behind ISIL's rapid and dangerous rise are its many sources of illicit funding. This amendment expresses…

I want to thank the gentleman and my good friend from California for his amendment, which I am very happy to support. An important role of Congress and of this bill is to ensure that our intelligence agencies protect sensitive information…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We expect timely briefs on all major cyber attacks, but in this case, I agree, we need to require specific reporting and briefing on the impacts of the recent OPM breach. We need to learn far more about…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the work of my colleagues from Massachusetts and from Texas. This is a superb amendment that will help us track foreign fighters, and I am proud to support it.

I thank my colleague from New York (Mr. Crowley) for yielding and for his work on this amendment. I am very happy to support it. Diversity and language skills are critical to national security. Together, they allow the intelligence…
