Does the Department of Transportation require detailed reports on how the California High-Speed Rail Authority is spending those Federal dollars?

I think one of the things that I am very concerned about, and just in the last month or so, I probably have been in about 10 different countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, a lot of these different countries.

What I am seeing from my point of view, it gives Putin the ability to get whatever he wants.

Prior to the approval of this Federal grant, all 14 members of the California Republican delegation sent a letter to you regarding high-speed rail being an infeasible, counterproductive project.

These communities depend on Federal community development funding for housing, infrastructure, community facilities.

But when we pull back, when we don't go on our budgeting and what you are doing, it gives China the ability to be the more powerful person in the world and take a position that we are pulling back.

All right. And then in my district, my district has many small communities with a very limited tax base.

Accordingly, Congress provided more than $20 million over the requested amount in fiscal year 2017 to further support and accelerate the safe integration of drones into national air space.

Audits like these provide HUD the opportunity to reevaluate policies and initiatives, make improvements to take sufficient steps to reduce abuse such as over-income families in public housing.

HUD is tasked with supporting housing needs across America in urban, suburban, and rural communities alike.

livestock haulers in my district and across the country have a challenging task of balancing both the safety of motorists and the health and welfare of animals being transported.

I am concerned that the authority will start to use the grant money as a slush fund.
