Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Stabenow, and members of the Committee.
I appreciate the leadership that the Committee is showing, because this really is a threat to our country.
Do I agree with everything he has ever said or done? Of course not. But I do not agree with everything anyone I know has ever said and done, including myself. If I were in the Senate today, I would vote aye on his nomination.
So there is a really important leadership role for Congress here and, of course, the executive branch.
