Bennie Thompson actually said...

"I want to begin the hearing by thanking Congresswoman Dina Titus for bringing the committee to Las Vegas to examine how the Department of Homeland Security can improve visitor processing."

"I am thankful that our partners in Congress, including Congresswoman Titus, are actively engaging to provide resources."

"If they want to come and talk, just like we`ve had other agencies to come and talk, we`d be happy to talk to them."

"Thompson told reporters, quote, they made it a request and we told them that, as a committee, the product was hours, and we are not giving exodus to that work product."
