On the recordJune 13, 2013

Actually I rise to thank you, Mr. Denham, for bringing up this very important issue. The gentleman mentioned historically the great contributions that the folks that he mentioned today, people just like that, have made throughout our history. Let me tell you, Mr. Denham, you are bringing up an issue which I am glad finally someone has brought up, and I know you're going to continue to, as you have, show the leadership on this issue that you've had from day one. I just want to tell you that I'm willing to do whatever I can to be of help because I think the issue that you have brought up today is essential not only for a group of individuals, but more importantly, for the national security interests of the United States. So again, thank you, sir, for bringing this up. {time} 1820
