Mr. Park, you are not a cybersecurity expert, are you?

I believe that Mr. Park's job was about trying to push technology, and the record and evidence supports that.

I believe that if Mr. Park is given a fair chance, a fair opportunity to answer questions here today...

While we have not always seen eye-to-eye on the matters before the Subcommittee, no Member on this side of the aisle has ever had reason to complain about the way you have conducted yourself.

Mr. Chairman, first, I would like to take a moment to thank you for your service.

We have to fight this aggressively, and, most importantly, over in the countries involved in West Africa.

I certainly understand what he is saying, and I certainly understand, Dr. Giroir, the position that you are in.

I think the numbers around the CDC budget over the past few years reflect that prioritizing public health and addressing world-wide health emergencies have not been our top priority.

I do want to congratulate you on the success so far on PreCheck.

So I think the question that we are tasked with today is do something or do nothing, and as far as I am concerned, plan always beats no plan, especially when the stakes are so high.

I watched with great interest our country's response to September 11 and I watched the creation, Mr. Secretary, of your Department.
