If reports of Russia's involvement are confirmed, the only reasonable conclusion is that leaders in Russia are stealing and disseminating information in an effort to sway an election in the United States.

Yet, in the hours and days post-Orlando, members of this body and the Executive branch wasted no time labeling this tragedy as an act of terrorism.

Yet, many of the same people in this body and the administration who labeled past mass shootings... were quick to dismiss the notion that the Dallas attack was an act of terrorism.

This is the greatest threat of our time, and I urge each of you today to explain to this committee--and to the American people--how you are planning to elevate our defenses to keep Americans safe.

Unfortunately, today, the Nation finds itself in a period of heated rhetoric-fueled by fear.

Today, Americans legitimately fear infiltration by the violent ideology espoused by ISIL.

We must be able to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists.

In contrast, last summer, when a gunman... opened fire on 9 parishioners in Charleston, South Carolina, many in this body... refused to label this attack an 'act of terrorism.'

Without training, direction, or support by a foreign terrorist organization, the Orlando assailant... carried out the deadliest shooting in American history.

In a time where threats and issues regarding domestic and foreign terrorists, emergency preparedness, immigration, and aviation seem to be at the forefront of our thoughts and concerns, the issues surrounding how we secure the information…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, while I commend Mr. DeFazio and his colleagues for negotiating language to enhance aviation safety, I must rise in opposition to this legislation. My problem with the resolution stems from a…

Right now, I think TSA is in the midst of sort of a perfect storm.

Yesterday, I cohosted, with the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Grijalva), a forum that took expert testimony on the homeland security threat posed by armed militia and antigovernment groups. We were forced to hold a forum because the chairmen…

I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time to close. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hurd).

I support the majority whip's position. We have already voted on the bills. We have already sent them over to the Senate. It is just repackaging them again and sending them over again. They are in charge. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman…

We have had a number of people talk about San Bernardino. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Aguilar), whose district includes San Bernardino, where the shooting occurred.

May I inquire as to how much time each side has remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Mississippi has 5\1/4\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Texas has 5 minutes remaining.

I respectfully request that you hold a hearing where the Committee can receive testimony from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice on the subject of domestic terrorism.

Cyber threats are constantly evolving.

Congress should pass H.R. 4488, the Rights of Transportation Security Officers Act.

It is time for Congress to dedicate the proceeds of the security fee to TSA to be used for its intended purpose.

We urge lawmakers to direct Administrator Neffenger to apply title 5 rights protections to the TSO workforce.

AFGE advocates an increase of 6,000 additional full-time TSOs to the workforce.
