I have been pressing for our committee to investigate these cyber attacks.

You do have a critical responsibility, which is to make Federal records available to the American public as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Some kind of way we've got to close this gap.

It's easy to say that we are scoring excellent in this dot, dot, dot, dot that ain't true, folks.

I have discovered from being on this Hill for 20 years now almost that you almost have to--we have to set deadlines to get things done.

Congress cannot continue to slash agency budgets, starve them of resources, cut their staffs, and all the while expecting them to tackle the increasing number of FOIA requests.

We have got to do better.

The bill does this by creating a legal presumption in favor of disclosure in response to FOIA requests.

In the face of doubt, openness prevails.

I just wonder when you have that, do you really get to the people who are truly responsible for what Mr. McCraw called a little earlier the culture.

We're going to sit down and try to improve the bill that we have so that we can accomplish something.

On February 2, Representative Darrell Issa, our former chairman, and I joined together on a bipartisan basis, introduced a FOIA Oversight and Implementation Act.

We want all children to have the kind of opportunities where they can go to school in a decent building.

I have often said that the greatest investment that we can make is in education.

Our children are the living messages we send to a future we will never see.

I want your child to have the same kind of education I would want for my child. And that is important to me, considering my own journey.

Personally, I do not understand how anyone can claim to be promoting the education of our nation's children when they are slashing billions of dollars from education funds across the country.

Our number-one responsibility is to help our children figure out what their gifts are.

And again, I want to thank our witnesses very much for your testimony. We do have challenges all over the country.

The answer is not to slash billions of dollars from national education funding. The answer is not to provide vouchers to provide private schools.

How can a son of two former sharecroppers with a third-grade education each be sitting before you today as a Member of the Congress of the United States of America? Because I was given an education.

The greatest threat to our national security would be our failure to properly educate every single one of our children.

But I just want to make sure you were clear that we want you to do what you need to do, but we also want to look out for all those other children, too.

I do not feel the sense of urgency. That is right, I said I do not feel a sense of urgency.

If you cannot do the job, you need to let somebody else get in there and do it.
