Mr. Chairman. I would ask unanimous consent to submit for the record the DHS and Department of Justice document released this morning entitled Guidance to Assist Non-Federal Entities to Share Cyber Threat Indicators and Defensive Measures…

Make no mistake, security is first and foremost.

When I came to Congress I made a commitment to my constituents to tackle problems head on and just get things done.

I, my colleagues on this committee, and Ms. McSally are growing increasingly frustrated that TSA needs constant prodding to effect positive changes at the agency.

So if you are talking Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest or Essence Fest or any of the events, the last thing we want is people to come down and have a good time and then have a bad taste in their mouth because they waited in an airport line or they…

I think baggage fees is just another way to dig in American people's pocket and make excessive money.

I am opposed to the baggage fees. I think it is abominable.

Where we had to use deadly force and it was done by the book.

But if we want to push people to PreCheck, why don't we just say anyone who has PreCheck, the airlines can't charge you baggage fees?

Again, I will say that naming this post office in honor of a true public servant and a young man who grew up in the area, a young man who ultimately sacrificed his life to make sure that other people would be safe, who dedicated his life…

I think it's absolutely crucial. And I think that they have some expertise, but it's not at the level that they ought to have.

I think that the FBI should be developing the skills and capabilities to do those kinds of investigations.

I don't think any of this should happen without a court order.

This subcommittee has oversight responsibilities for the Department's US-CERT and ICS-CERT teams that provide the foundation of the U.S. Government's approach to securing and safeguarding the resilience of civilian cyber and critical…

It is in the National interest to safeguard such critical infrastructure, and to make sure there are adequate protections...
