Eric Swalwell

I want to thank you for doing that because it is not easy.

Would you agree that because we have a broken immigration system, because there is great uncertainty about our immigration system, that in this chaos, this crisis with unaccompanied minor children has occurred?

The reason people are coming is because the border has not been secured.

What can we do as a body to give you the resources you need to make sure that you meet that 72-hour requirement so that children are not staying there beyond that period?

Thank you Chairman Lummis for holding this hearing, and I also want to thank this excellent panel of witnesses for their testimony and for being here today.

However, as amazing as these developments may be and as much as we would like to continue to push the frontiers of science, we are also forced to keep in mind our current fiscally constrained environment.

I am especially pleased to see northern California so well represented at the panel.

Thank you, Chair. And thank you to the witnesses and, Dr. Lockyer, thank you for telling me about Fermilab.

We are here today to discuss the recently released P5 report, which lays out a vision for particle physics in the United States over the next decade.

Thank you, Chairman Lummis, for holding this hearing.

And also if we can't proceed with DESI, it would send a negative message to our many collaborators from 10 countries...

Mr. Swalwell. And, Dr. Roe, speaking of Europe or Asia, if DESI is funded and moves forward as a project...

I commend you for rising to this challenge so that Members of Congress, without particle physics degrees, don't have to make these decisions without your guidance.

I believe the end result is a very strong product, and I want to thank Dr. Ritz for his leadership of the P5, as well as the entire P5 team for their efforts.

I claim the time in opposition on behalf of the ranking member. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

I also as my colleagues have noted stand with Boston and commend you for your work.

It is imperative for passenger safety and aviation security that we close this loophole to help ensure the safety of the traveling public.

If there are ways that Congress can get involved in encouraging responsible behavior that increases the safety of the global flying public, we hope that you will let us know.

100 percent of the time?

I think President Obama certainly in the Beyond the Border action plan with Prime Minister Harper and with Canada recognizes perimeter security as a critical issue.

As others have stated, my prayers and wishes go out to the families of Malaysia Flight 370, but as we have often learned from aviation disasters, if there is any hope that has come out of it, it is that we learn a lot about our own…

But is every purchase within the United States to travel outside the United States or every purchase outside the United States to travel into the United States checked against the database at the point of purchase or is it checked closer…

Today I rise to honor the life of 23-year-old fallen Marine Lance Corporal Andrew Silva of Union City, California, who was tragically killed last week by a drunk driver just over 1 month after returning home from Afghanistan. Lance…

Don't you think, Mr. Capello, that for perimeters that are so vast that it is impossible for human eyes to detect these, especially at night?

For me, aviation security is so important because if we do not have public confidence in aviation security, the economy we know will greatly, greatly suffer.
