I have long been a proponent of commonsense comprehensive immigration reform to fix our broken immigration system.

We need to ensure that we have more judges, more expedited proceedings.

We think will really help to put somebody in charge, have some accountability, for two reasons: one, to ensure these kids are properly treated.

I think a bunch of us believe that we all share the goal of ensuring that NPPD functions as a full component of the Department and it has resources that are necessary to carry out what we all think is a critical cybersecurity mission.

When we passed out of this Committee legislation reauthorizing DHS, one of the provisions in that reauthorization dealt with National Protection Program Directorate (NPPD) and in which we sought to make it clear that they had the skills…

Do you believe the United States could do more to deter and prevent cyberattacks on our election infrastructure in order to protect our democratic process?

Attempts by Russia and Russian government, backing actors to interfere in sovereign elections are not new.

We also are on multiple committees, and we just finished one of my hearings.

As the storm bears down, this reminds us all the more that extreme weather has been coming our way for some time, and it ain't going to stop.

Nuclear power has proven to be quite resilient in this country during these extreme weather events.

Extreme weather events are expected to be more frequent and more extreme due to climate change.

A response for the record from Mr. Williams, but others would be welcomed.

Those two are being built in Georgia by your company.

I do have a few. Thanks, Mr. Chairman.

Again, thanks very much for being with us today.

When I come back, I would like to ask some questions about Halden, the test reactor and how the U.S. Government is going to fill the gap when Halden is no longer an option.

When my sister and I were little kids growing up in Danville, Virginia, sometimes our family listened to the news on ABC radio.

I, like you, Senator Carper, like win-wins.

I strongly believe Congress has a critical role to play in ensuring that our Nation invests wisely in clean energy.

Safety must always be the top priority in our country's approach to improving nuclear energy.

Let me note that nuclear power is one of the many examples of how our Nation can combat climate change, and at the same time, grow our economy.

Our Federal Government has a moral responsibility, not only to help our communities be better prepared for climate fueled events, but to also address the root causes of these events.

I believe there are few environmental challenges more serious than climate change and the extreme weather associated with it.

We were scheduled to have the christening of the USS Delaware, a fast attack, junior class nuclear submarine in Newport News this Saturday.

I spent a lot of years in my life in the Navy and have a huge appreciation for nuclear on ships and submarines.
