Congratulations on your retirement. Thank you for your leadership at NASA and your decades of service.

With President Trump signing the NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2017, have the attitudes or the morale in NASA, how would you gauge that as the administrator?

We want to help South Mississippi deal with its problem and it might be quite different than a problem somewhere else in America.

After seeing how weak the previous Administration was on crime, I am happy to see this Administration makes steps to toughen up on criminal and gang activity.

Last week, when President Trump announced the good news that he is going to deploy the National Guard to the border, as a National Guardsman myself, I was elated.

border security is absolutely in correlation with national security. It is extremely important.

Border security is absolutely national security. Thank you for protecting America, trying to keep our communities safe.

I have known several FEMA Administrators, and you seem to be one of the best ones that I have heard explain your agency, so thank you for your honest and clear answers.

Mississippi is more than capable of managing its fishery in a way that ensures conservation while maximizing access, and I believe it should be given the maximum management flexibility possible under this proposal.

During last year's hearing, Secretary Ross made a commitment to me and to this Subcommittee to work with the Gulf States to find a solution to better manage our red snapper fisheries.

I want to first say how much I and my Gulf colleagues appreciate the willingness of this administration to work with our states and the recreational fishing community on ways to improve red snapper management.
