As I relayed in my opening statement, Director Wray has indicated that the FBI has elevated the white supremacist terror threat to the same level as the international terror threat.

Require an annual report from military leadership that includes an audit of all investigations and prevention measures taken regarding white supremacist activity within the ranks of the military.

As you mentioned in your testimony, the military has faced a white supremacist threat before, and our country is currently dealing with an international terror threat that manifests through radicalized lone actors.

We don't have to reinvent the wheel to deal with this threat.

What authorities do you need from us to make your job easier?

I would like to associate myself with Mrs. Davis' comments.

If it is prohibited and we have an Air Force service member who is actively fundraising for this despicable organization, why is he still in the military?

I am astonished by it, because I think the potential for placing our service members at risk is so great.

So no action taken regarding rank, pay, anything like that.

I think we need to look at that.

I find that astonishing.

I want to again thank you all for your testimony this afternoon. It was very enlightening.

The Base, as an organization, had an intention to derail some trains, kill some people, poison some water supplies.

The Military Personnel Subcommittee will come to order. The hearing today is to discuss a very important issue...

And you can all say that we are here for the families, but unless we are going to show it by action, we are not achieving that result.

So we are going to change the system, so it is responsive to the families, because words don't have any weight unless they are followed up with actions.

And I would say to you, Ms. Stevens, that we could solve a lot of our problems if we just take the Marine Corps model and implement it in every one of the services.

I think you have heard from a number of us today about our dissatisfaction with what we have heard. I can just state for myself that we are going to fix this this year.

If we don't measure, if we don't have things that show, if we are not doing what the GAO says, if we don't have our own parameters and criteria and things that we intend to make, we are not going to get better.

But to my knowledge, there aren't any parents that serve on them; are there?

So what is your game plan to address those gaps?

We are going to have all of you come back every 3 months to give us a briefing.

It is not good enough to come here and make happy talk about how you want to be helpful.

I was also taken by one of the comments that they will, quote, 'wait you out,' because they know you are a military family.
