"I think one of the most important functions of our Committee is to oversee what is happening on the enforcement of our laws."

"When you determine at the police level there is an unfounded case, it generally means that you do not believe the victim."

"We need to get beyond just the current way that it is reported."

"We need to design a balanced strategy for a long haul to attack terrorists and prevent their ranks from swelling while at the same time protecting our country against future attacks."
