As it pertains to internet architecture, how does the identification of these 56 critical functions alter CISA's approach to protecting our Nation's internet infrastructure?

What I'm asking you about is what plans do you have to compensate servicemembers and veterans that were exposed to these chemicals that you were aware were harmful to human health?

And I agree with Ms. Donovan.

If you actually take this issue seriously, making sure that this report is issued in a timely fashion is essential.

The bottom line, Mr. Chairman, is not having an up-to-date Quadrennial Homeland Security Review makes it more difficult for Congress to evaluate DHS's strategy.

Are there plans to brief the President on this critical issue in a comprehensive way from CISA?

Has the President received a comprehensive briefing from CISA on potential Russian influence in the 2020 elections?

I'm sorry, that's just not--that doesn't conform with what information I know that we've been given about 3M's awareness of the harmful effects of these chemicals.

To those of you that have disagreed or refused to answer, you are playing a part in this national emergency.

So to the panel, and I would like a straight yes or no answer, do you agree that legacy PFAS chemicals like PFOA and PFOS should be designated as hazardous substances under the Superfund law?

I know I don't have the confidence that EPA is going to propose a rule that takes that step, let alone finalize one.

Even former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said a year and a half ago that EPA would designate some PFAS chemicals to be hazardous substances under the Superfund law.

That's not actually accurate in terms of the documents and the information that has been provided to the committee and to the military.
