I applaud you for having one woman with you, but the DOJ should look like the country.

It was created to protect against discrimination based on race, color, sex, disability, religion, familial status, and national origin. Wouldn't you agree?

I think that would be a tremendous help, because most of the people who have committed these mass murders are people who really need some kind of help.

What I would like to see, and this committee--or at least the Congress has taken it up in the past--is something more done to help people who are dangerously mentally ill.

Closing that loophole would have saved nine lives?

If we look at the Charleston loophole, would that not have prevented the perpetrator from purchasing that gun?

I would just offer support for the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 57, line 13, strike ``and any grantee'' and all that follows through line 19 and insert the following…

Passing H.R. 251 would allow us to continue the conversation around this important national security program without leaving chemical facilities more vulnerable to attacks. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues in the House to support H.R…

I look forward to working with DHS to help the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency mature into an operational component and develop the capabilities needed to meet the challenges ahead.

This bipartisan legislation confirms, once again, that Congress intends for DHS to be the primary Federal civilian interface with the private sector on cybersecurity.

Last night, after years of debate and negotiation, Congress sent H.R. 3359, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, to the President's desk.

I think we have enough resources to protect the privately owned critical infrastructure; I think we don't.

I am, you know, a survivor of Katrina and Rita.

This was a failure of policy, management, capability, and above all, a failure of imagination.

I am concerned that we are, once again, playing catch up with our adversaries.

And this country is better than that. First of all, it is not true.

If a ball is rolling down the hill, the only way to stop it is to apply equal and opposite force.

Judge Kavanaugh, who relies heavily on the same textualist reading of the Constitution employed by former Justice Scalia, possesses a conservative judicial record that leads us to believe that voting rights, education, criminal law…

You just saw in Georgia where they--there was an attempt to close polling locations right before a gubernatorial race.

Section 2 is absolutely not sufficient.

President Trump has seized on this opportunity to pack the courts by selecting judicial nominees who lack pragmatism and are often strikingly unqualified and proven intolerant bigots.

The Federal Government's always lagging behind the times and we are about 10 years back from where we should be in terms of our cybersecurity.

It is taking far too long to fill senior positions like chief information officers

The tendency to undercut or diminish the role of authority figures, eliminating the cybersecurity coordinator is a good example
