From my family's experience and from my experience seeing the sacrifices people make to come to our country, the issue of immigration is one that is near and dear to my heart.

The constitutional rights of Americans do not disappear at the border.

I plan to support him.

It does not take a lot of imagination to think of how a sophisticated cyber attack to a power plant's industrial control system could cause a massive disruption with grave consequences.

I would like to make sure that... small businesses who may not be aware of this requirement, that they are very aware

I hope that your task force is also addressing the purchases of political ads by foreign countries.

What we are just looking for, as we are wrestling with the idea of who is responsible for what, I would just like to get down that with regard to election systems, we should look to DHS.

I am glad that we are having a discussion about the integrity of our elections as being fundamental to our democracy.

I would like to start by thanking Senator Murkowski for her leadership as chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, on which I also serve, in addressing some of the long-term needs of Puerto Rico.

I still feel that more resources are necessary to provide effective care for women veterans who have been impacted by sexual trauma.

I fully agree with you and Senator Ernst that legal barriers around this solution for effective treatment in provider-scarce communities need to be taken down.

Telemental health is critical to care in frontier states within the Continental United States, like Montana, and geographically separated states like Hawaii and Alaska.

I sponsored a bill with Sen. Ernst to allow allowing VA health officials to practice telemedicine across state lines

Come to Hawaii and check it out.

Is this available in any of the Hawaii parks?

I think that these programs are really important as we talk about trying to expand the reach...

I had earlier requested... for a list of all of the youth programs that you are reviewing...

I would also be concerned about the Park Service's prioritization of supporting smaller project partnerships...

I think you mentioned in your earlier testimony that you are reviewing all of the programs that you have regarding youth and that you may have to make some decisions.

The President's Fiscal Year 2018 budget proposes a 13 percent cut to the Park Service's overall budget and an 11 percent cut to the visitor services line.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I commend you for that.

Maybe that is something that can be encouraged, just as Kupu follows up.

How do you keep track of where they go, what they do, after they leave your Corps experience?

If we want to have a resilient and strong America, we need resilient and strong people.
