I know there are a number of colleges in your district in Washington or around your district. And when you talk to young people today and they are thinking about going to college, how much are you hearing that the potential of debt is…

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts, and I invite to join the conversation a leader in our party, someone who serves on the House Rules Committee and also the House Appropriations Committee, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis).

Actually, I have a question for the gentleman from Massachusetts. I know you are active on social media, I follow you, and I see you are very in touch with your constituents, particularly those on social media. I am wondering: What are you…

I thank the gentleman from California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to invite to join our conversation another freshman Member from Massachusetts, somebody who has also served our country very honorably in the Marines, Seth Moulton.

I also wonder, Mr. Speaker, what the gentleman from California thinks, as somebody who is serving in the Reserves right now and serving shoulder to shoulder with some young DREAMers, what would it do to the morale of the ranks if DREAMers…

And I was hoping you could tell us about the role our national labs are playing to keep us safe.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and with all of the stakeholders in this critical, critical area moving forward.

I have stated a number of times that I just referenced that I believe and support an all-of-the-above 'if we can make it safe, we should make it happen' approach to clean energy.

I believe when it comes to energy if we can make it safe, we should make it happen.

You were always open, I think, to whatever ideas were out there that could move our country forward.

I have enjoyed working with you. You were very kind early on when we both were selected to lead our respective sides.

I and many people in my district have strong concerns about the safety of nuclear energy.

Would it surprise you that not a single person who has sat on this dais with me, particularly among my GOP colleagues, made a single public statement criticizing any Executive Actions taken by any Republican Presidents with respect to…

Mr. Secretary, does the number 2,577,516 mean anything to you?

He deserves a chance to tell his story and put these allegations to rest, and I believe he can do that.

As a former prosecutor, I believe that the allegations you have made against Mr. Park could place him in legal jeopardy.

Fairness is particularly important because this hearing has the feel of a trial.

Mr. Park was not managing the acquisition, he was not directing the development or designing the cybersecurity system.

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.

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.

At some point the actual evidence has to guide our opinion of Mr. Park.

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

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