We must ask this question: Are there other Iraqi nationals granted asylum who were involved in attacking our troops?

We need to have a leader of this effort and I hope you will relay that we are continuing to push on that, as well.

Limiting the travel of terrorists is a key way to protect our country.

I support TSA's and DHS's expansion of the See Something, Say Something campaign.

The operation that tracked and killed Osama bin Laden demonstrates the kind of successful collaboration between our intelligence and operational capacities.

I think your point about the generational change is absolutely right, and I think we are seeing that with the use of technology and networking and sharing of databases, too, because that is just what the next generation does naturally.

We cannot continue to spend what we don't have, and we must closely scrutinize every Federal agency.

Every aspect of discretionary--the discretionary budget must be scrutinized. No agency can be off limits.

DOD funds provided for specific purposes, but no longer needed or in excess of that requirement, should be returned to the General Fund of the Treasury.

It is troubling to me that you can go back decades, apparently, and there still is a lack of attention to this problem.

Administrator, you have pointed out that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would be the lead agency if the United States were to experience the kind of accident or level of damage at a commercial nuclear reactor that is occurring now in…

And were not those $2,000 debit cards just an invitation to improper spending?

I want to ask you a series of questions about that, but since my time on this round is almost expired, I will wait for the next round.

Our thoughts are with the Japanese people and with the rescuers and responders, including units from our own country.

I hope that FEMA will have made significant progress in improving our Nation's preparedness for the next catastrophe.

I pushed very hard for this reform, I am very pleased to see the progress that has been made.

I think it is a false choice between providing the money quickly enough and providing it in a way that guards against fraud.
