On the recordJune 9, 2014
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, as cosponsor of this bill and chairman of the Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Homeland Security, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4228. Over this past year, I have aggressively called for a reform agenda to address the evolving needs of DHS. This bill tackles one of the most urgent, the need to reform DHS acquisitions. These reforms are much needed and long overdue. I sincerely appreciate Chairman McCaul's and subcommittee Chairman Duncan's collaboration on this effort. I urge a ``yes'' vote.
