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

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…

Today, I rise to recognize Tim Sbranti as he completes his term tomorrow as mayor of our hometown, Dublin, California. I have worked with Tim in many roles. He has been my high school teacher, coach, friend, and mentor. I have learned a…

Today I rise to remember retired Alameda County Fire Chief Bill McCammon, who passed away on October 13. Bill lived to serve, and he served all who lived in Alameda County. He devoted his life to keeping our community, State, and Nation…

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Today I rise to recognize Union City Police Chief Brian Foley as he retires at the end of September after almost 30 years of service. Brian grew up in California before graduating from California State University, Chico, with a degree in…

When it comes to climate change, we are facing a stark choice in America. We can do nothing and see if it happens or we can do something, protect our children, and actually grow jobs and our economy. If you believe climate change is not…

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.

We may be politically less capable of taking the necessary decisions.

the critical component that I am most concerned about is what are we doing here at home.

I was hoping that you could elaborate on what we are going to do or what we are doing to disrupt any plans of theirs to return to the United States and carry out with the tools and hate that they have built and developed abroad?

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