I think it is vital that we commit to not trying to divide Americans along lines of race.

I want to make sure that we protect rural delivery and rural post offices.

virtually all white people contribute to racism

Do you agree with Dr. Kendi's claim that the election of the former President was racist progress?

they benefit from racism

I want to make sure that in this job and in this position that we are committed to unifying Americans, not dividing them, certainly not dividing them along the lines of race.

I will hold you to that.

Thank you very much for that.

I have been an advocate of reshoring our critical supply chains and introduced legislation to do that.

Yes, it is hard for free labor to compete with exploited forced labor. Is that fair to say?

I think we could look at ways of incentivizing hospitals and medical facilities to keep 110 percent of what their daily requirements are.

The industry used to employ, I would say, 3 million workers in the 1990s, and now we are about 600,000 workers.

Absolutely. Just to stay on China for a second, why do you think that China is well placed to expand its global dominance in this industry?

U.S. textile manufacturers compete in one of the most unbalanced economic playing fields of any industrial sector.

I think the idea of keeping them there indefinitely and keeping a barbed wire fence around the Capitol indefinitely is crazy.

had there been a recorded vote, I would have voted no on the confirmation of Executive Calendar No. 30, Adewale O. Adeyemo, of California, to be Deputy Secretary of the Treasury. ____________________

To say it is frustrating is a dramatic understatement.

Will you work with me and other Members of the Committee, if confirmed, on that issue?

I mean, that is a significant number of people, and care centers, that sounds like disaster relief work.

Will you also, if you are confirmed, when it comes to the border crisis, make sure that whatever FEMA is doing it is within the bounds of the statute and the law, No. 1, and then also, No.

It seems to me that one of the weaknesses with our supply chains is this just-in-time production model and other efficiency measures.

I noticed that in February we also uncovered evidence of a separate parallel attack on SolarWinds software, but this time from a group of hackers in China.

What lessons, I am wondering, should we take from that specifically? Do we need to take further steps, for instance, to rethink how the government stores and protects personal data, especially of that kind?

We still believe this is a second state actor that carried this out? Are you able to say?

So is it fair to say that the recent attacks that have been attributed to China, like the Pulse attack, have been more focused on economic theft than the Russian-based intelligence-gathering cyber attacks like SolarWinds?
