"We're in a critical period in the coming year with national elections next month, which are the first in more than 2 decades."

"It is, as you know, a very bipartisan Committee and I think that is part of why we have been able to accomplish a lot over the years."

"The legislation which I have introduced with Senators Pryor, Voinovich, and Landrieu would extend the CFATS program for 5 more years."

"Thanks to the bipartisan leadership shown by your Committee, DHS and regulated facilities are deep in the middle of implementing this vital program in a focused and cooperative manner."
